Ok...so...update on Mikey. The Neuro said he was a textbook case. His migraines are triggered by exhaustion, overheating, or dehydration. Then once it starts...yeah, vicious cycle. A bad one can take a few days to get over. So, the plan of attack: *Make sure he eats and hydrates well before the game *in addition to the water provided, he is to have 2 - 16oz bottles of gatorade in the stands with him during the games *he has adjustable earplugs, so if he is sitting by the drumline, he can dampen the noise *he cannot take aleve, aspirin, ibuprofen, excedrin, or tylenol if a headache starts *at the first onset of the headache, he must take his migraine meds. *if these measures work in containing the migraines...we continue...if they do not, and he is still getting them regularly, he will be put on a preventative medicine. Thank you everyone for being concerned. At least we now know what we are dealing with, so we can do what we need to do to get this under control.
