Well it is official

I took Alexus to the Neurologist yesterday and he diagnosed her with migraines. We have decided to do a preventive medicine. She will take 1 pill right before bed time every day. The medicine is called Periactin. I sure do hope this helps because we can't figure out what is causing them. When he was talking to us about which way we wanted to go he was talking about doing a daily journal which we already did for her pediatrician or a daily preventive medicine. When he mentioned a daily medicine he saw her shake her head yes and was really surprised that an 8yr old was willing to take a daily medicine. We have to watch her for a little while to see if she is going to have the side effects. They can be sleepiness and appetite gain. He doesn't want her to sleep all the time or gain a lot of weight either so hopefully it won't. /crosses my fingers She took her first pill last night and when I woke her up this morning she said she felt fine. I will keep you all informed on what happens, but I sure am glad they diagnosed her so we can get her something to help these darn migraines. She goes back in a month for him to reevaluate her.
