Cindy,

One thing about a consult with Dr. Loder or with any specialist for that matter -- Breezy's doctor will have to be willing to work with whatever suggestions that doctor makes. That's something that has to be considered too.

If you see Dr. Loder, please give her my best?

Keep us posted!!

Teri, Wow., OK. I appreciate the lead to Dr. Elizabeth Loder in my area. I looked her up and she is at Brigham and Woman's in Boston. I will contact the office Monday and see what is what with getting an appt. for an initial eval for Breezy. If this does not work out, i will travel outside of my area and pay out of pocket at least once with a migraine specialist.

MJ and Dragondrool, I actually didn't know what constituted glare, but it makes sense that the glare is likely the problem. We did play with our computer monitor's screen a bit and Breeze said it was a little helpful. I will ask the school about that screen, though Breezy said she isn't on the computer at school too much.

Is there a way to change the color of the background for other than Word? Has anyone tried overlays on text?

Cindy G.

The generally long periods of time between my Migraines are the result of working with a Migraine specialist to refine my preventive regimen. You can see my current regimen HERE.

I was just thinking of you and Breezy. I wondered if you were able to get an appointment scheduled with the new doctor?

Just to give you some more hope for Breezy, check out the posts in the Doctors and Clinic section from lovemykids. She is trying out a new doctor in Dallas for her teenage daughter. Her daughter is getting IV drugs and is feeling a bit better each day.

It always gives me more hope when I read the success stories. Thumbs Up

Check the internet and see if someone in your area can test her for Irlen Syndrome. My daughter's Irlen syndrome is very much agrevated by her migraines. Colored glasses could easily help part of this situation. Look up irlen.com for more info.
