Common Questions and Answers about Children complaining of headaches
complaining
While my 15 year old son does not complain of stomach aches, he is complaining of headaches lately. His BS is very well controlled, but I am thinking that the headaches are more tension related than realted to his type 1 diabetes. He's a sophmore in high school and was diagnosed on New Year's Eve 2011, so he is still honeymooning. From what I see in this forum, CT scans aren't providing any answers to the headaches. I'll start looking in the activites/stress direction.
I am beyond tired. It feels like i am going to start my period. I'm tired, belly cramps, back cramps, increased discharge, gas, moody, and headaches. I'm 36+3 so i am definitely not going to start... I just want to stay in bed..
My 10 year old daughter is always complaining of being cold. This summer she has been wearing heavy fleece pajamas. She used to love going swimming and now she will get in the water for a little bit ( I used to have trouble getting her out of the water ). When she gets out she is always freezing and saying she is cold. She is not as active as she was before and usually is laying on the couch covered up with a heavy blanket or two. Any suggestions?
I have read a little on tics but I am wondering do children also develop or complain of headaches and earaches along with tics? My little one has now begun complaining frequently of his head hurting or his ears hurting. (An ear infection has been ruled out and a vision screen by a specialist also found nothing questionable there either.) Can someone please advise if headaches are common with tics and complaints of ears hurting too?

Many, many of my 60-70 year old friends are complaining about our children! We did not want a generation of narcissists. Sometimes they are children of divorce, but not always; sometimes they are children of well-educated professionals, but not always. I can't imagine how rude they must be to each other, or what kind of parents they will be. Maybe medhelp could set up a message board for us.

I think she has thought they were normal headaches. I remember even when she was 5 her complaining of headaches and I thought she was overreacting.
Hi Dr. Santos,
I'm still observing my wife's condition. She haven't complaining yet of headaches now. If it happens again and its getting worse I will see her doctor again.
Thanks for the advice.
LOL! Thanks Ladies! I keep trying to remember, it will be all worth it in the end! Lord, what we endure to bring our children into the world.
I wish people stop complaining about what questions other people post... Either read it or don't! answer it or don't! I know this may seem hypocritical cuz i am doing the same thing right more but whatever! Don't read mine either!
bet617,
That seems awful high. I wouldn't think it should ever be that high. I am not a doctor, but I would call mine first thing Monday morning and schedule an appointment. Also, check for other signs such as urinating too often and excessive thirst. Keep a diary.
I am on the questioning side of my daughters and just wondering. I have pre-diabetes and am anemic both iron and b-12.
my daughter is 14 and she sometimes complains of headaches and recently has been complaining of her vision at school but they tested it and said her vision is normal. the reason we got the MRI becuase she passed out or had a sezuire and urinated on me. they checked her out and said everything was ok she probably was dydrated. not sure what is going on with her all I know is something is not right. complains of headaches,blurried vision and dizziness.
Hi I have a concern about my 7 year old daughter. First let me start by saying that Diabetes runs in my Husbands side of the family. His mother has insulin dependent diabetes as well as his oldest sister, who has suffered retinal neuropathy and lost her eye. My daughter is of healthy weight and eats fairly well for a child her age. We take vitamins and minerals, fish oil and probiotics for healthy digestion. Lately she has been complaining of her hands hurting when she wakes up in the mornings.

He pretty much complains about a headache in the back of his head ever day. He is functioning and working everyday, just complaining :-/ . Before this he has never had headaches. He does intend to see a Doctor as soon as our insurance kicks in later this month. Mean while he is miserable... Any thoughts? Tks!
shunted hydrocephalus. A few days ago, she was complaining of headaches, so her neurosurgeon ordered a CT scan which showed that the shunt was fine. She hasn't been complaining of headaches anymore. Today we noticed that her eyes are crossing. One eye is much worse than the other. They seem to correct when she blinks, then slowly drift inward. She looks like she's looking a couple feet to the side when you tell her to look at something. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
In my (extensive) experience, the number 1 cause for mysteriously blurred vision in one eye in a female child this age is "making it up". And I cannot tell you how many times I have been assured that this would be totally out of character for the child. Also, the types of "out of focus" problems that affect children do not cause constant blurred distance vision and occasional blurred near vision...but she doesn't know that.
I was complaining because of strong pain in my eyes while wearing glasses and difficulties to watch near objects with them.
Then I went to binocular tests and they found that i have exophoria and prescribed me double stronger glasses -2 to make better cooperation of eyes. It became even worse after that and they sent me to the neurologist. Neurologist told me that he doesn't know how to help me.
My son is 8 yrs old and has been complaining of headache since he was 6. It usually happens after exposure to intense sunlight for a prolonged period of time (say 1 hour). I've taken him to see an eye specialist who referred me to a paediatric neuro-surgeon, after confirming that it is not due to eye problems. The latter said physical examination is not symptomatic of neuro-related issues and suggests monitoring him for a period of time, rather than perform invasive tests.
