[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 204912, member: 1233"] Thanks to all. I called the dang pediatrician at 8:10 this am and was too LATE to get an appointment! So we went to the walk-in clinic. The doctor there said first that it was sinus, but then that there were no signs of sinus problems except the headache. Jess has had so many Xrays lately that they didn't want to do more, but pushing on the sinuses doesn't make it hurt worse, and no congestion shows up. Exam was totally normal, except for her head hurting. They did give her a shot of Toradol, which is pretty much what they do for migraines/cluster headaches there. The neuro Jess sees has said she has bilateral (both sides) migraines, so this problem is one. But no medication seems to be helping. I am hoping that sleeping today will help. We ahve seen an allergist (a very good one) and years of allergy shots did nothing, we are working on eliminations but it is a long, sloooooow process. The dentist has said everything is fine, but she is due for another checkup next month (early Nov). I think cluster headaches, but there isn't much that they can do with a child. They DID rx imitrex for her in hte past. All it did was make her barf, no relief from it. They suggested giving her treximet, but I don't think so. That is just imitrex and aleve in a combined pill. Anyway, thanks for all the great ideas/suggestions. I hate seeing her pretty face so swollen. I have a call in to the pediatrician neuro and to the allergist. Jess said that she is worried about school - when she IS there (and not home sick or injured) she feels like crap and it is hard to learn. I think if I could find an affordable online program we would switch to that. There IS a FREE one for high school in my state, but not for Jr High. I am going to ask the school nurse about homebound programs. [/QUOTE]
