I posted last spring when I realized my daughter was in fact experiencing PCS for the second time, following a 10k run. She is fourteen.

She had been pretty much symptom free for three years prior and we had been mindful of the fact she is much more vulnerable to concussion due to her history.

After three months she was doing much, much better and we continued to take it easy over the summer.

Five days ago she came home with a splitting headache (8 out of 10) and although it is at about a 4 now, it remains. I believe she needs to stay home from school until it is gone. As hard as that is I am really, really concerned about what might happen if she returns to school prior to the headache resolving.

The headache came on while doing computer coding and timed typing tests. I will seek significant accomodation with the teacher as I believe this is not a safe situation for her. She did have one or two headaches that lasted the night prior to this, and they came on in this class.

We are doing lots with supplements and are going to try a type of biofeed back called Brainstate some have benefitted from. We will also take her for NUCCA chiropractic as I think her neck remains injured from gymnastics accident.

If anyone has further thoughts or suggestions please post. I really want to avoid migraine medications. I am going back through the posts again as I have learned so, so much from the site.

Wishing all of us well.
