CMy daughter is 9. She has suffered from occasional migraines that began around age 2.. The first couple of years she had one a month and by age 4/5 they tapered down to 3 or 4 a year. Today was the worst one, she was nearly screaming with pain, her vision is blurred (that was a new symptom with todays migraine), and of coarse, after about an hr and a half the vomiting began..
I took her to our Urgent Care and I was fearing the worst, that I would be put in a dark room with her to soothe and given some prescriptions and shooo'd away, instead I had a Dr that ordered the CT scan and there it was. I was told that my daughters Cisterna Magna was slightly enlarged, at the same time, it my be enlarged but it is still within a normal range..
Our consult with a neurologist isnt for another 4 weeks. In the meantime I have begun my reading and I have more questions now than when I started. For the past couple of months she has had many frequent small headaches that, regretfully, I have been writing off as side effects to her recently changing AD/HD meds. One nagging thing that didnt fit was that the headaches persisted even during times I wasnt administering meds to my daughter during school breaks.
What can I expect from here on out? I havent been able to find alot on this topic and could use more info.. Thanks L
