After a week of tests, from bloods to ECG we still don't have a definitive diagnosis for Christian. He is a lot better, although still has the visual snow. Now we have the dilemma of whether or not to give him the high-powered drugs he has been prescribed. Prophylactic treatment of migraine symptoms involves medications that have big side effects and I'm not sure if that is better than the original symptoms. Will ring the paediatrician today to see what he thinks. Have also taken him off artificial sweeteners,MSG, any caffeine etc - all the obvious triggers.
It has been frustrating dealing with the hospital. They don't like it if you have got yourself informed via the dreaded internet before you talk to them. I also need to ask why the drug on the prescription is not the one we talked about. (Completely different family of medications).
On a lighter note -- Robotic Nationals loom this week - it will be a fun week-end of geeky mayhem
