Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 HI , my oldest son not mito affect suffered from severe migrains starting at age 5, we took him to St. s hospital in Phila. and he saw Dr. Legido (who is also my youngest son Matts mito neurologist) a wonderful Dr. He did MRI's and lots of blood test, allergy test, and we found out that msg's , and color dyes were triggers, we also found out my sons veins and arteries were quite small and that was causing the migrains to be so severe. Dr. Legido put my son on INDERAL (this is a blood pressure medication), and from the 1st dose, my son got relief, he was suffering ever day with migrains and with the inderal it went from everyday to one migrain per month. There is a documentry in the medical libary at ST. Chris HOsp for children and also a copy on Action News archives, with my son and Dr. Legido, intervewed by Antia Brickman (health watch) this was also aired on the news in 1993. THe piece done was on migrains in children and adults. So if all other meds fail, maybe you can ask your doc to try Inderal or to contact dr. Legido who is an expert on childrens migrains.
