MarianLF,

I bet your daughter has a Type A personality and is very ambitious and accomplished. Her migraines would be extra miserable since they limit her ability to achieve her goals.

Does she or did she play soccer or other contact sports ?

Hi Mark, she has a tendency to get stressed over things, is doing OK at University, but not as well as she would like. She never played any sports but used to dance. The reason I am so sure the neurofeedback helped her is that at the end of April she had three very stressful events in the course of a week, including a car accident (not her fault, and no injuries) and she didn't develop a migraine. She is still stressed about driving since the accident but no migraines. I still can't believe it. I forgot to mention, she had 19 sessions in total, twice per week at first, then tapered to once per week and now none.

I am not surprised she tends to get stressed over things. Learning to get free of this stress is an skill that will provide the most benefits. Otherwise, it will raise its head up and bite her hard later in life. Stress is brain killer and a waistline enlarger.

Maybe the NO therapist can suggest ways for her to learn stress reducing skills. She will love the new her if she can make this change.

My best to you both.
