Hi Dr Smith and all-

My almost 16 year old daughter has chronic headaches, as she says "everyday." Went to Kaiser emergency room Sunday night when she had a severe migraine. Finally was able to get a doc to give her imitrex (which I take for my mirgraines). It WORKED!!! So now we are going down the road for a neuro evaluation. Her pc (pediatric) says that she really can't have imirex because she is under 18. My neuro in Kaiser (whom is now refusing to see her because she is a "pediatric", told me that he routinely give imitrex to kids. I'm at a loss. Any ideas on what I should say/ask regarding meds at her neuro appt or her pc (dont have an appt with either at the moment-waiting for her pc to call back)? I know they will run the gamut of all the neuro tests first. Dr-you mentioned neck muscle related headaches-she definitley has them. I'm not sure if they are the "daily" ones she has or not. I'm on the neuro site myself due to pn- Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated-
