Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 to Halloran et.al., Excedrin is iffy as it contains caffeine which can cause a rebound headache. Imitrex is the drug of choice for migraines nowadays. Have you had your hormones checked? I don't know how old you are, but I have found out from my sister (endocrinologist) that many patients, including another sister-in-law, finally resolved their migraines by starting progesterone. Good luck, Barbra Mousouris flax seed oil ---plus > Hi all, I finally found the flax seed oil, but I'm not sure how much to give timmy. he is about 40 pounds, also any suggestions to hide it in? he doesn't like ice cream so shakes won't work, no smooth stuff like yogurt or pudding..only crunchy stuff or milk, but I haven't tasted it, so don't know if he could tell it was there. > > Also, good news he has been dry at night for three weeks---I'm probably jinxing myself now. But, I got the waterproof pads and said this is it--underware at night and you HAVE to get up to go the bathroom. This from a child whose diaper was soaked through some nights, sleeps all night and is dry....I don't understand it, but, I'm happy about it. > > Bad news, another double ear infection--just got off antibiotics last week, so on drops and antibiotics again. he doesn't get fever--or rarely, ears were draining and a gunky green nose--didn't say ears hurt either. > > Timmy frequently has cold feet and hands--will not wear slippers. > > mtg. with the teachers and therapists is set for the 27th, not new iep, just and update meeting, my pt and nj tap will be there and I am ready with my questions and concerns. > > hope everyone is having a good week--oh, anyone out there suffer from migranes? how do you get over them? I have been having very bad ones and more frequent. took Excedrine migrane, imatrex and the dr. gave me but/apap/caf codein cap west, which finally got rid of it. but I was wondering if anyone used anything that took it away immidiately. > > maria, mom to timmy 6 ChARGE , keegan, liam, wife to pat > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 thanks to all responses about the headaches----my hormones are out of wack, but I take meds to regulate my cycle, so I would think that would help ---I will try to cut down on sugar I need to start weight watchers anyway and maybe try the feverfew I think the name was...it's worth a shot. I just can't have many more days like last week--I couldn't take care of the kids, and it hurt so bad all I wanted to do was rip my head off and cry. well, I need to get stuff done, Timmy has the ocularist tomorrow to hopefully get his new eye, and I have to get the other boys set to stay with g-ma while we go. have a good weekend, I'll be scrapbooking, thanks to my wonderful husband, for 24 hours!!!!! of course I'll have to sleep sometime or I'll have a migrane. maria mom tp timmy 6 ChARGE, keegan, and liam, wife to pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 , You said you are taking meds to regulate your hormones. Are they birth control pills? I can't take BCP's because they give me migraines at least once a month if I am on them... also once the doctor gave me progesterone, a hormone to toughen up my uterus and I immediately got migraines again. Taking any hormones will give you migraines. mom to CAitlin charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 Hi Debbie, We spoke a while ago and yes does have " permanent ones in " for almost 7 years now. they are still fine and drain fluid only when swimming and water seeps thru the earplugs. We are facing the situation now of whether to try without them. Be aware that Dr. Haddad told me that sometimes when they have been in for so long the drum does not close spontaneously so surgery may be needed to close the tiny hole. The permanent ones were her third or fourth set.It's worth it rather than anesthesia and more poking in there every year! good luck Marisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Does anyone get terrible sinus headaches? If so, did they have choanal atresia? Has anyone had to have a CAT Scan of the sinuses to see if they needed to be drained? My son , who is now 5, has terrible headaches. He had bilateral bony choanal atresia that was fixed 4.5 years ago, but I think he is having trouble from it. Also, does anyone have permanent ear tubes? It seems like goes in for ear tubes every year (his 4th set just stopped working), so the ENT said he will put in permanent one. Does anyone NOT have ear tubes?

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 We didn't know for a year, and even then it was a guess. He would suddenly begin to cry as if in great pain (very atypical for him to cry). He would begin to gag and retch and vomit through his g-tube until he would become very limp. If I moved him slightly the crying, gagging, vomiting would start again. He would also become very pale, and break out in a cold sweat. Now when he begins to cry (in just that certain way) I give him advil and it prevents him from going into the full blown retching cycle. Since he began getting craniosacral manipulations, he very rarely gets them anymore. Thank goodness, because they were horrible, coming out of the blue and lasting up to 36 hours before we knew how to treat them. When the DO who does the manipualations was gone for 2 months, Dylan had a migraine everyday of the last 2 weeks before he came back. Once he had his adjustment, he was fine.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 It is encouraging to see someone else going to cranial sacral therapy. Jillyan goes every other week and it has helped her torticollis so much -- and it is a much more gentle therapy than her doctors had prescribed. They wanted me to hold her down and force her neck to go all the way to her shoulder about 10-12 times a day. She screamed every time and it was heart breaking and I then was referred to this cranial sacral therapist who is just wonderful! She has even helped with draining Jilly's nasal passages when her congestion is up and also in draining her ears when she has an infection. She was diagnosed with an ear infection today and her therapist did a session on her ears and she is back to her happy little self. We are still doing the 10 day antibiotic thing, but she is no longer pulling/rubbing her ears. I'm glad as tomorrow is our first neurologist appt and Friday is her VCUG (one year check). Wish us luck!

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Yes, the cranial sacral work has helped Dylan in many areas - torticolis, migraines, seizure like episodes, megacolon, balance, posture, sinuses, - you name it it has made an impact. The body is so connected that obviously a torticolis is more than just a stiff neck. It affects everything. Who does your CS work? Dylan actually sees a DO who does osteopathic manipulations as well as CS. His OT that emphasizes the sensory integration part, does some myofacial work and some basic CS work. She is the one who referred us to Dr. s.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Honestly, I keep going because it is very relaxing for Jilly and she is only 1 year old -- we've been going since March. Her therapist is a certified Osteopath (Upledger Institute in Florida). She helps babies with reflux issues (both feeding and urine) as well as head shape involving the plates (Jilly is in a doc band to reshape her head), and much much more. I had never heard of this until I started researching alternative therapies for torticollis. Her OT has recommended sensory integration therapy, however, Aetna refuses to pay as they consider it experimental and not proven -- which is so aggravating. Both her OT and PT have went to a session as they are interested in CS and they are working together with her CS therapist on how to best coordinate their therapies. Her PT has taken one session of CS work, however, it is very expensive and it is hard to get the state to pay a lot of money for certification. She as well does some CS work when Jilly is congested or has ear problems. I will agree that torticollis is more than a stiff neck. It is affecting Jilly's ability to crawl and her head control as it is painful for her to raise her head in certain directions while she is on her stomach. She has come a long way since March and now can move her head past midline. We are also concentrating on her left shoulder where her heart surgery was. Putting weight on her arms is not her favorite activity -- she is an expert crawler when on her back -- but not on her stomach. She has the strongest little legs! I am encouraged to hear that you have had great success with this. I am now just starting to file with my insurance and I will be shocked if they pay, but we are going to continue anyway as we feel it is a benefit to her along with all the other therapists. Best of luck with your little guy!

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 We unfortunately pay for Dylan's DO out of pocket, $90 a visit. Bu when you think about it, $90 vs. all the other, I would rather pay. Of course the insurance will pay to do surgery for a bowel obstruction, but not for Dr. s to prevent one. They will pay for EEG;s and phenobarbitol, but not for Dr. s. Oh well, I am just thankful we have someone who can help Dylan without tossing a bunch of meds into him everyday. I am sure many of us here remember those back scooting days.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 Hello, I could not let the headache issue pass without addressing it. My daughter Katelyn has had headaches for many years. Most of it was caused by a severe sinus infection. She was a step a way from a psyc ward because she was having severe behavior problems. She was ask to leave her school. Her doctor would not believe she was in pain. I thought she was. With the help of a friend we saw a ENT who did 3 surgeries and I did 7 months of antibiotics after a port-a -cath was placed. I look back and it was an amazing difficult time. I was also pregnant and sick with morning sickness-all day!! I cannot say that we have no headaches any more, but they are not daily. They are 2-3 time a week. She is also better about communicating them and I treat her with ibuprofen and Maxalt if they are really bad. Good luck to all Katelyn(11)Charge, Jenna(6), Shayna(4), Callie(1) RE: headaches > Does anyone get terrible sinus headaches? If so, did they have choanal > atresia?
