Title: 10 Year Old Daughter
Post by brianman2 on Aug 2nd, 2011 at 11:37pm
It looks like my daughter may have inherited more than just my brilliance and good looks.  She has had a few incidents that made me wonder, but tonight she displayed all of the symptoms that I'm all too familiar with. 
I've had these since I was 18 or so, episodic, I'm 45 now, and am fortunate to get relief from O2, and keep imitrex on hand for the few that get through those.
I remember the long road to a proper diagnosis that I had, and don't look forward to her having to go through the tests, and docs that don't get it.
I'm not in cycle now, and don't have oxygen on hand, but was thinking about calling my most recent neuro (who is amazing by the way) and getting some more for her to try.  I wouldn't dare give her imitrex without a doctors approval of course, but didn't know if there was any danger to letting her try oxygen should she get another one. 
Are there any dangers I should worry about?  Any different flow rate or other instructions?

I don't know. I've pm'd our resident oxygen guru asking him to check this post out and see if he has any useful information. Hope she doesn't have CH, always been a fear of mine with my 2 girls, now 25 and 27. On the other hand, how sweet to have a dad who has already paved the way for her.

Brainman,

I received Joe's head-zup and have sent you a PM.  Please check your PM inbox.  With any luck, this will be a no-brainer and your daughter will be doing just fine free of the beast in jig time.

Take care,

V/R, Batch
