Hi there, My daughter is currently 13 years old and for the past four years she has been dealing with sever headaches and allergies. For the past two years along with headaches she started to develop into body aches all through her body and at times she would be so tired she would sleep for a good two days. She developed headaches from the time she can remember and tried everything to ease them from medication to sleeping to diet. A decline in academics was occurring along with her ability to function in regular daily activities. The medical field treated her for her allergies, and as for the headaches and pain took more of a psychological approach. Her doctor prescribed her an antidepressant which was used to treat pain. I hesitated and question if she should take them since we had no clear idea what was causing the headaches. Her allergy specialist after time requested me to ask her family doctor for an MRI or CT scan because of the location of the headaches. With great hesitation and another year passing, an MRI scan identified a left pericallosal focus of T2 signal hyperintensity and subcortical white matter focus of T2 hyperintensity seen within the posterior aspect of the left forontal lobe, near the vertex. Also, at the anterior aspect of the left middle cranial fossa there is a fluid signal structure that may relate to an arachnoid cyst. At first we were told MS, however another MRI followed, the first one being in October/2011 and the second in Mar/2012 which showed no No new white matter lesions were seen. A consultation with a neurologist we were told that her symptoms were no related to what was seen on her MRI, that it was not MS, and that even though images were found on the MRI that these were probably very normal. We continue to deal with these symptoms without the use of medication, the diet we placed her on seems to be helping with her headaches, body cramping and fatigue. As a mother being told that it's probably nothing is very hard to due considering having to help her cope with the symptoms. My gut is telling me to watch carefully and try to keep her doctor monitoring this. I've already been made to feel like i'm a over protective mother but easy for people to say when they don't have to watch their child suffer with so much pain. I'm currently not sure what steps or direction to take at this point. Any suggestions?
