My poor little boy has had a headache which has turned into a migraine for 2 solid days. No relief. I called our chiroprator and I took him in about an hour ago. As he was adjusting him, his nose poured blood. My son freaked and we tried to calm him.

Now he is laying on the couch, sleeping. I keep checking to make sure he is breathing. How aweful this sounds but I am scared for him. I know I am being paranoid but he looks terrible.

I put him on dexedrine about a week ago. Now his headaches are becoming migraines again. The doctor said this could very well be causing his severe migraines again. I am not sure what to do as our family doctor is gone till January. I am going to call the health link to see if its safe to take him off until our doctor is back. I am afraid that this med is the problem. My son suffers enough, he does not need this pain. If this gets any worse, I am taking him to ER and not leaving until we get some answers. Damn it!!!!! This is not fair to my 8 year old. This poor kid has been suffering for years!!!!! His next appointment with the specialist is January 7th. He can't suffer like this till then. He can't even walk on his own for crying out loud. I can't help but feel angry.

I am hoping that I can just pull him off of this med as he has only been on it for about a week. One of the side effects are headaches and would make sense for him to be reacting this way. I want to take this away for him, I feel so helpless. Wish it were so easy to take it for him, I would in a second.
