Abdominal Migraines

Our youngest son, Brandon, has been suffering from wierd episodes of nausea and stomach cramps for about 2 years. I finally took him to the doctor today to have him checked out. Turns out he has abdominal migraines. I have had regular migraines in the past, but had never heard of this before. Abdominal migraines are related to regular migraines, but the pain is in the stomach. We looked it up on the internet and Brandon has a textbook case. He has all the symptoms they mentioned. It also said that it could turn into regular migraines when he is an adult. The doctor gave us a worksheet to fill out when he has an episode to try and determine what his triggers are.
At least we finally know what is going on. We also found out that my nephew has this. I never knew that. Brandon was glad to hear it because now he's not the only one he knows who has it.Please pray for my little boy that these episodes will be few and far between.
Blessings,
Melissa
