13 year old with Hemiplegic Migraine

A FEW MONTHS AGO MY 13 YEAR OLD GRANDSON WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HM AND THIS CAME AS A SHOCK TO ALL THE FAMILY HE WAS A VERY FIT HIGH LEVEL SWIMMER.

IT TOOK ABOUT FIVE WEEKS TO COME UP WITH A DIAGNOSIS AND HE WAS GIVEN PROPANALOL 40MG TWICE A DAY TO CONTROL THE PROBLEM.

HE SUFFERED WITH RIGHT SIDED PARALYSIS AND SPEECH SLURRED AND TEMPORARY BLINDNESS IN HIS RIGHT EYE.

HE WAS SLEEPING UP TO 15 HOURS A DAY AND WAS A WALKING ZOMBIE.

IT WAS VERY DEBILITATING AND HE WAS HAVING DAILY ATTACKS.

HE COULD NOT DO THE THING HE LOVED MOST SWIMMING AND HE WAS DEVASTATED.

I WANTED TO TRY AND HELP HIM SO I SPENT MANY SLEEPLESS NIGHTS RESEARCHING THIS CONDITION WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS.

I DECIDED TO RESEARCH EVRY VITAMIN KNOWN TO MAN LOOKING AT THE SIDE EFFECTS AGAINST COMPARING THE BENIFITS.

IF THE SIDE EFFECT WAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE NERVES OR BRAIN I DISCOUNTED THESE VITAMINS.

I NARROWED EVERYTHING DOWN TO THE B VITAMINS AND CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM.

I ALSO CUT HIS PROPANALOL DOWN BY HALF TO 20 MG TWICE A DAY.

EACH MORNING HE TAKES HIS PROPANALOL 20MG AND ABOUT AN HOUR LATER HE TAKES VITAMIN BI-B2-B6-B12 WHICH YOU CAN BUY AT ANY CHEMIST OR HEALTH FOOD STORE AND BEFORE HE WENT TO BED HE TOOK HIS SECOND 20MG OF PROPANALOL AND HIS CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM AGAIN YOU CAN BUY THEM FROM

A CHEMIST OR HEALTH FOOD STORE.

FOR SEVERAL WEEKS NOW HE AS BEEN LOOKING FINE NI SIDE EFFECTS AND NO ATTACKS OF THE CONDITION.

HE IS BACK TRAINING IN THE POOL.

IT IS STILL EARLY DAYS BUT I AM OPTIMISTIC AT THIS POINT AND I URGE EVERYONE WITH THIS CONDITION TO AT LEAST GIVE IT A TRY AND SEE IF IT HELPS ANYONE I WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED IN THE OUTCOME.
