[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 186912, member: 3704"] Kjs, I am so sorry that you all are going through this. I suffered greatly from headaches as a child. My psychiatrist thought that they were migraines and food allergy based. I had a strict diet and spent a lot of time in darkened rooms. As an adult, I spoke with my neighbor who is a neurologist. He suggested that I take Aleve at the slightest hint of a headache. He also told me to take two at a time - but I'm not sure if that would be a good idea for a younger, smaller person. This was the best remedy that I ever had - but the headaches intensified. After further investigations , some CT scans and a MRI I was found to have a tiny little tumor on my pituitary gland. It was just enough to give me some serious headaches. I'm glad to say that after treatment, I rarely have headaches. But when I do, I go to a dark,quiet place after I have taken my two Aleve. I highly recommend visiting a neurologist. Does difficult child have aura before his headaches? Does he see flashing lights, or smell funny smells, or taste funny tastes? I always used to see flashing lights - like a strobe light. That clued me in to the approaching headache. I'm really hoping that you all can get some answers and some good treatment for difficult child. I can identify strongly. Those things are no fun! [/QUOTE]
