Title: Its been awhile, but we're back
Post by Connors_Mom on Aug 27^th, 2002, 10:19pm

Some of you may remember me, My son Connor has clusters and migraines, and there wasnt a doc anywhere to help him. Well we found one who actually believes children can have clusters!! We pick up the prescription for Topamax tomorrow. We still have the Imitrex spray and need a refill on that also. Cant run out! Connor sleeps in his OUCH tshirt from Johnny all the time. Its his FAVORITE and still hangs to his ankles. He is 5 now and started Kindergarten. Glad to see that this message board has grown since we have been gone. The support has always been great here.

I really hope that Connor gets all the help he can, and that the treatments keeps the beast away. I couldn't imagine having to go through these at his age. It was bad enough when I started getting them at 11. My parents know first hand how hard it can be to convince doctors that the pain is real. Keep up the good work, and good luck!

Many sympathies to you and Conner.
I had NO IDEA this was something that struck children! I didn't start having encounters with "the beast" until I was 32, so I too, cannot imagine what you folks must be going through. I certainly learned something new today...

Sending hugs and prayers!
