Classic Symptoms of migraine are severe throbbing headache on one side of the head. Chloe's headaches were only on the left side of her head the phase "lopsided headache" was used to describe her headaches and other symptoms she complained about were only on the left side of her body and head.First diagnoses suggested was Menderes Diease later ruled out. Other symptoms she experienced were: Nausea and vomiting, extremely sensitivity to light and noise, and the need to go to a dark and quiet room to sleep.
Vestibular Symptoms are: Vertigo, Imbalance Dizziness,Unsteadiness, Extreme sensitivity to motion and Hearing Symptoms. As a child Chloe saw a neurologist for possible seizures. The neurologist ruled out seizures but Chloe seem to fall on the floor and thrash back and forth for no reason. The medication she is on to treat headache and partial seizures with the other medication to prevent nausea and vomiting due to motion sickness seems to be greatly helping in this area.
Otis Migraine comes from the word meaning ear, and often occurs without headache. We questioned
If Chloe had hearing loss because her speech developed uniquely like she was talking like under water. We got her reading,to help her enunciate her words better. We also found out later that she had tinnitus in her left ear that lessen with medication and her enunciate of words and sentences improve too. She saw an OtoLaryngologist (ENT)till about school age trying to figure out her hearing and speech issues causes. Hearing comprehension of the spoken word and her enunciation has improves with the medication she is now on.
So Chloe migraine treatment has seem to help her understand the spoken word, improve her communication skills and strength her endurance . One side of our family has migraines and the other side has vestibular issues so this treatment actual makes sense.
