Headaches: good diagnosis this time

A mixed of stress, anxiety, despair and pain took over me this morning. For those visiting my blog on the last weeks know about my son’s migraines and headaches, the visits I made with him o the ER, the visit to the homeopathic and the news about the possibility of my son having something serious on his brain. Today was his check up appointment in the hospital.

I was horrified with the possibility of a bad diagnosis the doctor might tell me.

I am relieved now. I presented a report of the headaches and the only pattern is that the headaches have more incidence when he is under pressure at school, specially during exams and hard exercises. For a few days now, he doesn’t have headaches at all so the doctor says, with the end of school he probably won’t have headaches anymore. Neurological exams are normal so no further exams are required.

The doctor told me she could see I was really worried because on her own words: “I can see that stress is better for you to lose weight than the best diet pills in the market. Don’t worry anymore about your son’s headaches, stop stressing about that and start eating. Your son needs a strong mother”.

I know I lost some weight this last weeks because I was so stressed about the headaches, but it was stronger than me.

Although I am relieved and more relaxed with this diagnosis I keep thinking why the homeopath told me his brain signals were not normal? Well, probably the brain was weaker due to the stress.

I will keep an eye on my son, writing down every time he has headaches and in November we will be back to the check up to see how we did.
