"Nikki’s experience is common because #AbdominalMigraine in #children is frequently #misdiagnosed, largely because it doesn’t involve the typical #HeadPain associated with #migraine ..kids [also] struggle to describe their symptoms.": buff.ly/1v5v9cJ

Never had I heard of #abdominalmigraine. Let’s build awareness.

" #AbdominalMigraine is a type of #migraine that mostly affects #children, showing up as #StomachPain instead of the usual #HeadPain we think of with migraine. Diagnosing abdominal migraine in children can be difficult & stressful for the whole #family.": buff.ly/QYrbR6t

"Lacy’s #AbdominalMigraine attacks stopped in college, but her #migraine journey wasn’t over. As is often the case with abdominal migraine, for Lacy, it transformed into #vestibular migraine and migraine without aura.": buff.ly/YRNtq9l

"The ... hypothesis is that people who experience #AbdominalMigraine have overly sensitive nervous systems — specifically the primary sensory + central spinal neurons... Researchers think that certain genetic, psychosocial + environmental factors may make someone vulnerable to this hypersensitivity"

Managing migraine in children can be challenging due to difficulties in diagnosis, limited treatment options approved for kids, and their unique triggers and symptoms. #healthykids #abdominalmigraine
