Migrains

[tmjohnson]

One of our sons would get migraines when he was little, no quite sure of his exact age but was probably around 10 years old. My wife and son found that when she made gravy he would get a headache shortly after eating. Can't explain why. Hope your boy gets better soon

Take your son to a neurologist and don't waste time with a primary care physician.

I suffered from severe migraines as a child and into my 20's with symptoms of severe pain, loss of speech, impaired vision, and nausea. Primary care physicians eventually diagnosed me with migraines but did little for me despite their best efforts with a number of unsuccessful medications. I went to a neurologist in my mid-twenties and he resolved my problems with inexpensive medications.

Ditto on the neurologist, but there's like 20 kinds of 'em, you need to ask them up front if they specialize in migraines and headaches. For the vast number of people who get migraines, there's relatively few migraine docs around, be prepared to wait to see a good one.
