[QUOTE="ChiefDramatist, post: 660443, member: 16241"] Update: She's been on the medication for a couple of months now. While she had a couple of migraines right as she went on it, she is currently in the longest stretch without having one! Five weeks! We are even under a TON of pressure right now, staying with grandparents who don't really understand mental health issues anyway (everything is a behavior issue, I'm not being consistent with discipline, etc... That's a whole other thread, though. Ugh.) Anyway, I think it is working. I DO think it is something environmental, though. I know a few triggers: playing in the heat coupled with dehydration, red Twizzlers/Red Vines (no surprise there), and theatre movies (big bummer for her... She loves going to the movies. TV is fine.) Thanks for all of the suggestions. I wish that one of her doctors who suggest an MRI. Not once since her either her migraine or mental health diagnoses has a physician suggested any sort of brain scan. Edited to add: Neither I, nor her teachers, have noticed any further cognitive dulling. Her final report card came out for fifth grade, and she did the best she has EVER done since the onset. She actually got a C+ (almost B-) in math, which is amazing for her! I am so proud!! [/QUOTE]
