Hi all,

I have a 17 y/o with PCS....she's been off school for the past two weeks and will be off this week also.

Her headaches are getting worse and there is nothing that seems to touch them.....she has told me that over the past two nights the headaches has kept her up at night when trying to sleep and is so severe almost brings her to tears.

We are seeing the doctor this afternoon and she's having a CT scan tomorrow a.m.....The doctor last visit put her on neproxin and Tylenol 1's but they aren't touching the pain.

School is sending home some work for her to do as she's able and I know she'll try as she is bored stiff at home....since the headaches aren't getting any better should I allow her to do what she's able to??

She says the headaches are there all the time - there are times I look at her as she's giggling about something and it seems hard to believe she is actually having a headache....she says Mom its always there and her head is killing her.

She's handling it much better than some I guess but I'm sick over the situation and wish there was something I could do for her to give her even one day let alone one hour of relief from the headache.

Thanks for listening and for all the valuable advice given over the past week.

Joan
