I tend to experience the same thing around the school year time. By the middle of the day I get painful headaches in the middle of my head. Sometimes it makes it hard for me to read. I though it was because I havent been wearing my glasses like a should but it wasnt like this in the summer time when I was at work. I try not to take tylenol everyday because my mom said it can be harmful to the kidneys but sometimes the pain is just unbearable. Sleeping always helps so the headaches can be because I am sleep deprived. Even though I complain I dont think my headaches are as sevre as the child who had to miss two years of school. I wonder if they will start to put in like a down time in school so that children can rest their brain to prevent headaches. The article talks about taking preventive measures to stop every day headaches. I wonder what those preventions could be? Should the School be forced to put them in the school day.
I thought that the article was very true siding with the doctors. The reason why is because most parents really dont pay attention to kids when they are fussing about a headache they think were lying about it to get out of a test or just being lazy when really its the real thing and it might lead on to something else. I think that doctors do push it off alot though because they really dont pay attention to it - just check there head and thats the end of it- in the article the girl missed 2 years of school - just because her parents/Doctors didnt take her seriously- i think this article gave good insight and i agree one hundered percent with it. For my personal experience my mom always think that im faking a headache because i normally dont get them -so i will be in school all day not focusing on what i need to do- and i lost a whole day of work. But it should be more associations that focus more on headaches, Especially when school is coming back around parents need to take us kids more serious when we say something it wrong with us.
I agree with what the article was talking about, I get headaches sometimes too because of stress and too much school work. It should be taken more seriously because it can start to get more popular all over the world for teenagers. People tend to think that adults are the only age groups of people that can get migraines but this is not true. Teenagers may not be faking when they say that they have one. In the article it said that about 28% of older teenagers get migraines, I was shocked because I thought that the percentage rate would be a lot higher than it was. I also thought that percentage rate of younger teens would be lower because 10% seems like a little bit too much.
This article proves that school is harmful to students. But seriously, the fact that the doctors not taking the migraines in the younger generations is not to surprising. Kids make excuses to get out of school and homework and a headache is one of those excuses. But now that it's evident that there is a real problem then it needs to be addressed. People are becoming incapable of living their lives because of it. If The fact that there are kids out there who migraines are so severe that they lose two years of their life isn't a indicator of this needing immediate attention, then i don't know what is. More attention needs to go towards finding a way to settle migraines in adults, young adults,and children.
I can't really relate to my migranes having to due with school. My migranes started after my asthma stopped. For some reason, I would only get mirganes when I was out in the sun for too long, or short of breathe. I usually just lie down and let it fix itself because although I take pills, I try to avoid it. If I had mirganes when I was little, I wouldn't remember because if I'm in pain, I hold it in. This article made me realize that some children aren't as prepared as they should be. If the parents took the time to make sure that their children were prepared for the switch in their schedule when it's time for school, then most of the school related migranes would cease. I also felt like although the parents didn't want to waste money or time on taking their children to the doctors if they complained of having a migrane is understandable, it's also wrong for a parent to do. What if the headache turned out to be something more severe?? They'd never know because they assume their children are playing.
My response to the article "Returning to Classrooms, and to Severe Headaches" is that in my own experience I rarely get severe headaches but I do know about kids who experience that frequently. I feel like doctors and parents should take kids headaches more seriously because the number of kids having severe headaches is increasing. I understand the fact the parents find out hard to believe their kids specially if the headaches occur only during school time but I think they should put close attention to the behavior of their kids. In the other hand doctors should realize that the number of kids having migraines is increasing which mean there has to be a factor for it and should start taking action.
I think this is very true. I feel this way because doctors lots of time just don’t understand how the patient might be feeling and diagonais them with something it’s not. People get worst that way. I also know that this is true from personal experience. I have constant headaches. Most times it’s only during the school year that I have these headaches. When I’m stressed in the summer or because of the intense heat I get them. They can get so intense at times that you don’t want to do anything except sleep and lay down. These headaches occur for me because the lack of sleep throughout the summer time leading into the school year. They also come because of all the stress. Sometimes some medicines work but when they don’t the pain is really unbarring. I also feel that some of the treatment that the doctors in the article say work will eventually work. Others I’m not so sure about. There should be more research done on adolescent and toddler migraines so that we could have more of an idea of how to treat these. I wonder if these migraines could be somehow family relate like most other diseases these days. If so is it a gene or hormone that connects this and how can it be fixed?
I believe that you cannot argue with studies so it is true. From personal experience, there has been a time where I woke up after staying up until 3 in the morning and I will be sleepy, with a headache as well as a feeling of heaviness. Unfortunately my mother is the type of person who believes that education should be before anything else but God and family so being sick does not cut it. The only time I got to stay from some education (church) was during the summer when I had caught the flu. I believe that headaches may be a problem but they will never mean anything in my home. The only action that will be taken is an Advil. Migraines and headaches are two different things but my mother will only see it the same way. I think I am going to be the same way because there is no reason someone should not do homework or miss school unless a contagious disease is involved.
I can never really give an unbiased opinion on this matter because fortunately I have never had a migraine (*knocks on wood*). Although I have had headaches nothing of migraine caliber but looking over the issue I have come to the conclusion that money would be better spent else where (other than research on pediatric migraines. There are much more pressing matters that need attention more than pediatric migraines, ones that can actually cause death. Pediatric cancer most likely causes the deaths of many more children then childhood migraines. For it to be of more importance childhood migraine research should be lumped together with adult migraines. Even though there are differences in the two types of migraines, there are more differences in types of childhood cancer but there is still an organization that studies them all (National Childhood Cancer Foundation), so the same should go for migraines.
I believe that adolescent migraines are very serious. I have personally expierenced migraines which impair my actions and even entirely disable me from common activities. Parents should be more aware of migraines their children may experience. Though some children may fib parents should be able to tell whether or not their child has a change in mood or even their routine actions. Self educating themselves on the topic can help them distinguish affects that come with the migraine and how they can effectively prevent them or seek help. If more parents take the complaints their children make seriously it can be useful in present and even future situations where their migraines can affect them personally.
