Calling all docs

Motrin and Tylenol are different meds. You don’t have to worry about timing of one to dose the other.

Only the interval between Motrin doses or Tylenol doses is important.

You can give Motrin and Tylenol at the same time.

Poor baby. The first time couple times she ended up inpatient for a couple of days to rule out anything more serious.

Now she has the “marching symptom” starts in her hand then her arm. Monday she her symptoms cycled thru about 3 times but they were less severe than before.

Today she has headache with aura (normal for her migraines), numb hand and her tongue went a little numb, but she says she’s starting to feel better.

All the women on both sides get migraines. So I’m afraid she may have a rough time if it.

Really hoping she can mostly grow out of it when puberty finishes.

There are plenty of prescription treatment options that help prevent migraines and treat them acutely. If migraines are gonna be a thing for her it may be time to start discussing options with a doctor. I don't recall offhand if or which ones have a pediatric indication. I'm also not a doctor but do work in the pharma industry.

So, it’s been 20 minutes, but it looks like shes fallen asleep. We don’t want to wake her, so we’re going to see if she can sleep it off.
If not, we’ll deal with it then.

Thanks so much guys. I really appreciate it.

Not sure if we have the same kind but I get Migraines. When my prescription of Maxalt doesn’t work, the local walk in clinic gives me a shot that contains Toridol and anti nausea medication and that knocks mine out.

The last time we had to take her to the ER, before Monday, they gave her some Toridol. Monday they gave her nausea meds, but she threw up anyway. It’s part of her process I think.

It’s headache, sleep, throw up, sleep, wake up sassy and ask for dinner.

Right now we are in the Motrin induced sleep stage. She’s all cuddled up on her mom and holding woobie. And got her little girl snore going on.

Hopefully they will put on her on a preventative and also meds for when she does get one to help.
My wife has dealt with migraines for years and has been getting Botox treatments which helps alot.
best of luck to her would suck to be teenager dealing with them.

Hey Belle…we definitely think that puberty is the primary trigger.

She’s also quite high strung, has some OCD tendencies and is a perfectionist/type A. We try to keep her stress level down and work on the other stuff. But sometimes just gets too overstimulated, as she says. We try to really jump into action then, but occasionally it’s just too much for her.

She just woke up from a 2 hour nap. She said her headache is gone and she feels much better. She just wants to take it easy and snuggle with her mommy today. That we can do.
