my 18 year old daughter has been getting
migrain headaches for about 4 or 5 years.
This last round of headaches camewith the
usual pain, nausia and spots in her eyes
but she has also developed large lumps on
her left arm above her elbow. the lumps
have a red circle around them. The
emergancy room doctor gave her an
anti-biotic and told her this was stress.
I have never heard of stress being treated
with an anti-biotic. Is this common? Are
they diagnosing her correctly? We are
getting very concerned considering her age
and her future.

Have You Follow Up With Dr? Posted: 09-18-07 19:22pm
Hi,
I am new here.But I am not new to
migraine.Does your daughter see a doctor
for her migraines?Is she on any meds for
them?I ask this because I've tried various
meds for my migraine.I get migraine with
and without aura(spots,blurred vision,zig
zag lines).Some meds have caused side
effects.If she's on anything new,I'd check
possible side effects.Either way,
I'd talk to her doctor.
I've been to er many times.They do the
best they can.But I always follow up with
my doctor.
I have a daughter who breaks out in
hives when she's stressed.She never did
before,it just started,and she's 25.
I can feel for your concern.I'd talk to
her doctor for sure
