[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 311453, member: 1233"] I am so sorry. You must both have been very scared. It is totally understandable to not want to go to the ER, esp with the increasing costs. Sadly, with this new symptom it is imperative that you take him to the ER if it ever happens again. Going to the doctor won't help. They will take days or weeks to schedule an EEG from the pediatrician/family doctor's orders. It will probably take even longer to get in to see the neuro if your neuro is anything like our old neuro (not sure about the new one - haven't seen him enough to know). With this symptom it will likely be impossible to figure out what is going on unless you can get an EEG done during or immediately after the headache. This symptom could be dysarthria (wikipedia description: [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysarthria[/ame]) or could be something far more serious, such as a stroke. This web page describes a LOT of migraine variants and may or may not have info that helps you. I found it very helpful in understanding Jessie's migraines and mine. It is so frustrating to know that all you can do is not enough to stop your child from hurting. You are doing a great job helping your son grow and learn through this. Hugs to the whole family.
