This clinic no longer exists. I was an earlier poster who discussed the electrolytes, etc. We took our son to the headache/pain clinic when it was a group treatment program (neurology & behavioral health/psychology) and we saw 2 wonderful providers. Dr. Mark DiSabella and Dr. Angela Fletcher - one was neurologist and the other was a psychologist but honestly i'm forgetting who was who because they were both excellent. I just sent my friend there recently but she told me the clinic closed -something to do with funding. I would imagine the doctors are someowhere in the area.
Did the pain clinic close or the headache clinic?
We just had a neurology appointment at Childrens with a non-specialist neurologist who was able to dx migraines and rule out anything like a tumor, but I left confused about how often to use Advil.
We also got a prescription for a triptan - no discussion of antihistamines or antidepressants. But my kid’s headaches don’t appear to be horribly painful, just frequent. He’s pretty stoic though so not sure how bad the pain is.
