My daughter has been suffering since she was 2 from extreme headaches, she is now 12 and has never been properly diagnosed. The doctors never seemed to want to treat my daughter + always but it down to virus headaches + the such, since puberty she has more attacks + is vomiting + it lasts several weeks sometimes, it is very frustrating for us both as i hate to watch her scream + sometimes punch herself in the head.

What i have read just as astounded me as she has just recently been given medication for migraine + even though i told the doctors she was having symptoms of migraines the medication did nothing, but i have just read about cluster migraines which is a series of severe migraine attacks is a completely diffent medication she needs.

I am pleased for her to be able to get help her symptoms, but am very upset that she has had to go through this for such a long part of her young life with the so called professionals no help at all.
