" ya know, I have the same problems. I saw something on "The Doctors" saying that acupunture may help those with migrains. Even may cure them! That would be GREAT! Depending how old your child is you may just need to explain that you have a boo boo and that you can find something else to do for that moment. Just simple explanations may help. Good luck and I am sorry that you are faced with this issue. No mother should have to deal with this. "

Kids and migraines, what a difficult combination.

Take care of yourself. "
