Q: 9 Year Old Son - Many Doctors And Symptoms

My son just had a sleep study. Adnoids and tonsils were removed. He had constant sinus infections. The last cat last year showed moderate change in his sphenoid sinuses. So they stopped the antibiotics. He still has black eyes. But is sleeping better. He has a deviated septum and says he cant blow his nose because it hurts. Ent feels he did his part.
Neurologist. Wants to put him on inderal for rage attacks followed by migraines. He is already on strattera for adhd and visual learning disability. I said no to the inderol unless they do an eeg. I also think he should have another cat. I don't know which Dr. To be fighting the neorologist, pediatritican, ent. I have heard there is a rage epilepsy with headaches but I cant find anything on that topic.

Just because his front (visual) sinuses are cleared. I think the sphenoid sinuses which are the ones closest to his brain is an issue. Why am I being ignored on this topic by all the Dr. Involved. The pressure could be causing the outbursts and the headaches.

All want is for him to be able to blow his nose without pain. Not get the migraines and to quit replacing doors with holes in them. And learn to read.

On another note the teachers say he is so intelligent it doesn't matter that he cant read because he absorbs everything.

He was a preemie twin weighing 3lbs.

Any help or suggestions. I know I am his best advicate. But I am running in circles. :?:

I am so sorry your son has been through so much!! I am a sinus sufferer, been through 2 sinus surgeries and still have frequent sinus infections. Your son sounds like he might have allergies with those dark eyes and infections. Have they ever tested him? Is he on any allergy meds? It might help to figure things out.

The rage seizures are called limbic seizures. They start in the limbic region of the temporal lobe. Other seizure types can also cause change of mood, too. Good for you insisting on an eeg. Certainly worth checking if they can see anything specific going on. I have 2 kids with seizures and have read quite a bit. All three of us also have migraines.

I sure hope you can find help for him. Hang in there!!
