I feel like an absolute idiot!
My daughter has been having debilitating migraines and has been referred to a neurologist. She’s been having daily headaches since the third grade. At the time the doctor suggested her eyes be re-checked (glasses since Kindergarden). Eye doctor said she had a light sensitivity. His plan of attack transition lenses and Tylenol.
Fast forward 12 years. (She’s now 21 years old)
We go through all family histories, brain tumors, epilepsy, etc. Doctor asks “have you ever had head trauma?”
Yes, climbed out of her crib and got a concussion at 2 years old.
Doctor says “I see in your file a dog attack.”
DUHHHHH!!!!!
OMG, she had 107 external stitches to her face and head. The dog gouged her skull and bruised her brain! Once it became apparent that it did not affect her cognitively I thought we were in the clear. It never even occurred to me that there would be any long term affects.
How stupid!
