Decreasing the migraine symptoms cycle caused by nerve issues in back and neck!

                                                               www.chloethekinesthiclearner.com
Our journey is now to track medication that can help with these headaches and how they appear to help Chloe and what symptoms they help. One of these medications works by stopping the body's production of a substance that causes pain,fever and inflammation. Another is a sketetal muscle relaxant that works by slowing action in the brain and nervous muscles to relax. The last one is a medication to prevent and treat nausea, vomiting and dizziness caused by motion sickness. By documenting symptoms and resulting symptoms decreasing from each medication,we have seen a decrease in the intensity of these migraines 

We making some progress breaking the cycle of symptoms to stop the migraines. Chloe will be seeing her trainer twice a week in September and that stretching her shoulders and back will aid in lessening this headaches too.

With the right diagnosis comes the correct meds!

                                            www.chloethekinesthiclearner.com
Unilateral Headache means that the pain only ever occurs on one side of the head, and never shifts to the other. About one in five people with migraine will experienced "side-locked" pains in the head.So Chloe's was born and diagnosed a Floppy Infant, could this condition be the cause of of her neurological issues. I think we can assume the answer is yes.


With correct medication we have seen her goals she is working on are changing and become more challenging. Here are a few·       

  1. She confuses seeing someone verses hearing someone, those two concepts are confused.. The more we straight this out the less she wears ear plugs.(improving)


·         2.Overly fixed on other’s facial expressions but the goal is focus on task. This is improving with verbal redirects.

·         3.Work on not over-thinking a task like of picking up items in stores. Everyone is doing the same just picking up what they need and leave. (improving)

·       4.  Ability to transition to different tasks in house and in the community without emotional outburst (improving)

 5   5. .Shifting focus from  one task to another continues to improve and made more challenging

·       6.  Answer phone calls and answer all questions asked on phone call. Practice making phone calls.(improving). Also working on people have different dialects, nationality and ethnic origins that makes them look and sound different.
