Just curious: do any or all of you smoke? Drink milk, eat other cow's milk products? It seems likely that your son's migraines are related to injury, but still I am curious.... I have read that migraines are often related to smoking and/or second-hand smoke, due to the constricting of the capillaries, etc. My son's allergist (he has severe allergies) that people often think kids "grow out of their allergies" when what is happened is that as they get older their symptoms change, as in he said kids often wheeze and have respiratory symptoms with milk allergy, and adults often get migraines. I had migraines from TMJ. From my experience your son's accident could have caused either direct injury that is still affecting him, or has displaced the TM joint and that could be causing the headaches. It is typical in my experience and reading for TM joint problems to get worse and worse over time if the jaw alignment isn't fixed. My specialist who treated my TMJ said childhood head injuries often can be the cause of TMJ "disease". My migraines are gone, now that the TMJ displacement and jaw alignment is fixed. Just some things to investigate. paula ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff" <[email protected]>
