difficult child 2 has had a disabling headache for 2 years. She has been unable to go to school or have a social life.
Last Saturday, the pain was so bad that she asked to go to the ER. I took her and they tried a migraine abortive treatment that didn't work, so they admitted her.
She stayed for 3 days and tried another treatment that made her headaches even worse. They suggested changing her headache preventive medications but had nothing else to offer. They did a Lumbar Puncture and a 24 EEG as well as blood tests and could find nothing wrong.
Since they changed her medications, she was extremely anxious when we got home. She feels like she is in a dream and that she might hurt herself. I think she meant accidently in an impulsive act rather than intentionally. We changed her back to her old medications for now until we can consult with her psychiatrist.
She has taken Fiorcet, Tramadol, and Imitrex with no relief. The pain was so bad tonight that she was thrashing around on the floor crying.
She is being treated for Lyme Disease and her medicine seemed to be making her head worse. This is actually a common thing in Lyme Disease and is supposed to mean the medicine is working. It is supposed to get better in a few days if the medicine is stopped. After we stopped it, she got even worse every day.
There seems to be no relief in sight for her.
