Migraines

Caroline has had two migraines in this last week bad enough to land her in the ER.  Poor kid.  If it isn't one thing, it is another.  We don't think it is medication related, but rather that she has inherited my tendency to get migraines when a low pressure system moves in (cold and rainy) combined with another factor:  forgetting to eat, watching too much TV/Computer time, major stress, not enough sleep, etc.

So they shoot her up with Toredol, Benadryl and Fenergan with IV fluids.  Works everytime.

  1. Birth control pills are notorious for causing migraine issues, so please be aware.

  2. Cally, Thanks, I have thought of that. If these migraines continue to be so frequent, we will drop the LoLoestrin, which is the lowest estrogen dose on the market, but could still be a problem. Her skin is clearing finally but the acne has left significant scarring, the poor thing.
