My son got out of the ER last night! We're all exhausted but okay.

Thanks for all good wishes and vibes. We brought him home about 11 pm and this time he stayed. Mr. Bear has just left to take him back to his place. He's such a trooper about the whole mess.

I am bloody EXHAUSTED. Off to convert the guest bedroom back into my office.

Or...sleep.

1. Sleep!

Glad to hear he is doing better.

6. Migraines are horrible.

Glad this episode is over for him.



I hope he "outgrows" it. These days (mid fifties) they mostly just make me blind and the day is ruined whether I take meds or not. I haven't had a curled up in front of the toilet praying to die or worst trip to the E.R. ever for many years.

It's not a cluster headache is it? Those are worse.

7. It's not actually a headache at all. It's barfing. INCREDIBLE barfing.

It is a migraine syndrome but apparently the pressure is near the part of the brain that makes you throw up. I have mild ocular migraines but no big deal.

I hope he outgrows it too but he's had this since he was two and he's twenty six. Methinks it's time to talk with another neurologist.

But first, rest all around.

9. Is medical marijuana legal in your part of the woods? That might be the cure?

Seems if it can stop chemo patients from vomiting it may help your son? You know the stuff with the least amount of thc so getting high is not a problem?

[nolabear]

11. Yes, and he has a card. Sometimes it helps. Sometimes not.

This time, not.

[hunter]

10. That's awful.

I hope he finds something that helps soon.

8. I mussed have missed your post about this so glad he is out and ok!!...

From your description that sounds horrible, I HATE throwing up! And any symptom like that would be terrifying to witness, at least for me. I've grown up with a fear, probably instilled by my worry wort father, of certain neurological symptoms being a sign of a stroke or something worse among these sever head pain and vomiting are being up there. In some ways it's good that he's had the issue for as long as he has as it likely means it's something not as serious, not that it makes the suffering any better. Hugs to you and your son.

12. Yeah, it causes extreme reactions, even in hospital staff. But it's not life threatening.

Insane how something like that can be non-life threatening. We worry about his teeth, and his throat, and what he might tear, but when it's done it's done. Believe me, he's had every test known to man.

13. My roommate in school used to have the same experience...

scared me all the time but she never did find any kind of trigger for why it happened. At other times, she ate bottles of aspirin. And then...

she became a second grade teacher. I figured out the trigger then! j/k

Hope your son feels better!
