update on Audrey's headaches

DandRAgain

She strains her eyes to see up close.  Apparently her sight isn't horrible...but apparently she strains/stresses her eyes, so she is getting glasses with a small prescription to give her eyes a boost to not strain as much.  The eye doc said that if she had come in without any "issues", she probably wouldn't prescribe the glasses, but since she is having the headaches, it probably wouldn't hurt to get the glasses.

Also, she had a sinus x-ray and from that they can tell there is a lot of inflammation in her sinus cavities, so they are suspecting allergies (although she has no other symptoms?? weird??) and we are going to give her zyrtec every day.

Hopefully between those two things, and it being summer time so no school stress, her headaches will be better.

I hope it helps!  I can't remember how old A is, but when I was 10 I had the same problems; severe headaches every day.  I got glasses, and it helped a ton, and eventually I grew out of it.  I don't think I've worn glasses since 7th grade.

DandRAgain

yes, the doc thinks she will grow out of the glasses in a year or two.

Glad to hear you got an answer and hope the headaches are gone soon.

DD1 was just prescribed glasses too. Her eyesight isn't horrible but she does have an astigmatism and sometimes has headaches. The eye doctor thinks she could outgrow it in a couple years but my family all has horrible eyesight so we'll see. I hope they help!

I'm glad you got some answers. I too had sinus stuff growing up and my headaches were horrible. Poor kiddo :-(

So glad you got some answers and relatively easy fixes.  My twins had the same thing with their eye and need for glasses.  The eye dr said they may grow out of it.

I'm glad you have a plan!
