Guest guest Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hi. I have been reading with interest the threads about headaches. My daughter, 14 has a headache all the time. Sometimes it is tolerable to her and other times it is very bad. She has enough language to tell me that it never goes away and has always been that way. I was wondering how others treat headaches. What treatments are suitable for our children other than homeopathy which we already are trying? Thank you. . x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 My son's osteopath says that babies delivered by forceps may have headaches later, as well as crowded dentition requiring treament, if they don't have osteopathic treatment. Whether or not she was a forceps baby maybe worth trying cranial osteopathy? Also, I have found the Aleaxander technique can help me with headaches. Margaret > > Hi.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hi _ i am also very interested in this - (non-verbal aged nearly 13)is bashing his head with his hand quite a lot and also regularly takes our hands and pushes his forehead into them. He has also puts his head under the cold tap (used to think he was just playing up but now wonder if he is trying to help pain). Recently had a discussion with using Facilitated comm (on this day i sensed that he was not quite right in himself):- C;i feel real pain (tell me more) it is inside my head.(can you tell me how it feels/when it happens) c ; it is like it cannot escape. Wrote on paper do you have this pain – choices all the time/ sometimes – he pointed to all the time. asked even when you watch videos? Pointed to yes Can you think of any times when you forget about the pain –used yes/no choice on my hands he chose yes – he did a pretend snore- when you are asleep? Yes Can you give another eg of when you forget about the pain C; when i watch tv and dvds. Was out of room a lot and very rough with me – finding this difficult today so told him i wanted to try something else – I got the stencils and he used a pencil to point to the letters (angled) asked can you describe the pain c; 'upside down creatures cb4 bopt' – then came back to alphasmart keyboard – got weighted blanket and draped over his shoulders. Also moved away each time he was slightly rough.asked Is there anything else you can tell me about this to help me understand: C;'want to take reaslitic decisions.about the metrix and clear mybrainofthisrotten pain.' (asked if he could giove me another word for metrix) c;nau (try again)' problem.' I wondered whether to ask him to rate the pain (0-10) and on worse days give neurofen? - will look into cranial oest again (he did have this when he was younger). Any other ideas welcome. Sue > > Hi.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Just to add a thought, suffered excrutiating migraine since 14yrs old and now my son also has them, ours is triggered by food but can also be triggered by many supplements. I have an idea that may be the same but being non verbal we just eliminate according to diary results. For me Selenium triggered migraine roughly one week after starting so it isn't always very obvious, sometimes a supplement or food can be tolerated on first introduction. My intolerances have increased over the years and I think boys may end up the same as at the moment oldest is reacting to cheese only as a food trigger but then I only reacted to Orange and citrus anything for many years. had tinned tomatoes yesterday which had citric acid and had a very bad afternoon, just for the record the tinned tomatoes were not my doing!

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 hi and Margaret, my sons cranial and osteopath 2 different people often told me my son had headaches, now he doesnt seem to get them he is 9,we have done this for quite a few years, but this is probably because we do cranial monthly osteopathy every two weeks and healing weekly. I would highly reccommend this for you daughter, , we use a charity for osteopathy.And he was delivered by forceps and ventouse... www.fpo.org.uk there maybe a similar charity near where you live.Also byronia a homeopathic remedy is great for headaches at 30c from helios.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I had to reply to this thread with my daughter's headaches. She has been suffering with severe daily headaches since before last Christmas. She has also had headaches on and off for years. The medical professionals have always said that it is just migraine. It isn't, it is caused by low cortisol. In my daughter's case she has a very small pituitary gland and it seems to be this that is causing the problem, she is not producing enough ACTH to produce the cortisol. Both myself and Dr Goyal are trying very hard to get the NHS endocrinologist to recognise this, luckily, we now have an NHS neurologist who is also fighting for her and is clearly stating that her pituitary gland is small and pre-pubertal. I am sure that most ASD chidlren do not have small pituitary's like my daughter, but, adrenal fatigue is very common, so it might be worth doing a saliva adrenal stress profile. It was this test that first highlighted this issue for us. My daughter's headaches disappears in minutes when she has hyrodocortisone. We are currently trying pregnenolone to try to raise her cortisol levels that way - this works very well. If you google pregnenolone and migraines you will see that there is alot about this. Just an aside about The Technique - we have just been to the My Horse Life event at Stoneleigh. There was an Technique stand there doing 15 minutes sessions. They did some adjustmenst to my daughter's head, neck and shoulders. Within a couple of minutes she had virtually collapsed, lost all colour and was feeling very unwell. Soon after she was physically sick. Luckily one of the practitioners was a Dr and she laid her down to recover. What happened was that the adjustments lengthened the body putting the head at a bigger distance from the heart, this led to low pressure. This normally happens and usually someone just feels a bit dizzy and their pituitary gland reacts and sends out ACTH to produce cortisol to raise the blood pressure. In my daughter's case, the pituitary galnd cannot react that quickly and so she had a mini-addisonian crisis. So, it might be worth finding out what is causing the headaches before doing any Technique! > > > > Hi. I have been reading with interest the threads about headaches.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hi Isobel, No as far as I am aware the two drugs are not the same. Cortisol is the bodies anti-imflammatory agent. Your son might have been using up his cortisol to fight whatever inflammation is going on leading to a low cortisol level in his body. His adrenals may have been struggling to keep up. The adrenal cortex will be helping the adrenals to recover and the antihistamine might be taking the pressure off the body even more so allowing the cortisol levels to rise. Just a theory Isobel! The pregnenolone is only part of the story for my daughter, she really needs hyrdocortisone, but, both the NHS and Dr Goyal are very loather to prescribe it. But, I am hopeful that this will change soon. > > > > > > > > Hi. I have been reading with interest the threads about headaches. My daughter, 14 has a headache all the time.

Your son might have been using up his cortisol to fight whatever inflammation is going on leading to a low cortisol level in his body. His adrenals may have been struggling to keep up. The adrenal cortex will be helping the adrenals to recover and the antihistamine might be taking the pressure off the body even more so allowing the cortisol levels to rise.
