parent: I think she fakes it to get days off

me, pediatric neurologist & migraineur extraordinaire: what does she do when she gets a headache?

p: lays down in a dark, quiet room

me: &

p: throws up

me: &

p: cries herself to sleep

me:

p:

me:

p: she gets a whole day off
Yes, children can get migraines. Yes, they really can be that bad. No, they aren't faking it. No, a migraine day does not count as a day off.

Wow this really resonated with people! Thank you for sharing your stories. I'm going to have to mute this now but a few things before I do...
A lot of what I do boils down to education. Neurological conditions are scary and confusing. I'm so glad that I get to help patients, families, and friends (like the people in this tweet) learn more about treating & living with them.
Btw, this kid is OK & her parent is OK (but maybe sick of doctor auntie Diana cussing them out with love)
To learn more about pediatric migraine, talk to your child's pediatrician / pediatric neurologist.

Lastly, parents, listen to your children. Providers, listen to your patients. Listening may seem like a very small thing but it can make a big, big difference.

Interesting read from Dr Richard Idro about Measles- Rubella vaccines👇🏽

Parents

Lets not play debating vaccines. Many of our parents gave birth to 5-15 of us because these diseases (Measles and Rubella) used to kill millions of children.
“I can tell you hundreds of gory stories of my life as a doctor treating these children but will spare you. One family lost all 5 children to measles within 2 weeks one after another. Five graves in 2 weeks. Rubella is damaging so many unborn babies.”
“Kids from school take it home and mums get infected. Your next baby may be born with severe brain damage, will never pass P7, is deaf, blind and with a hole in the heart.”

There was always a moment of disorientation when the summoning occurred.

It's not that the demon was unprepared--they were settled for their shift, waiting, and felt the tug of the ritual the moment it started. But even knowing it was coming didn't stop the flash of confusion.

I watched #Bbcqt and it was painful viewing. Abbott was treated like a buffoon essentially became the prob of two WW, Bruce & the Blond woman whose name I did not bother retaining. Could see Abbott was struggling, who would not...but she kept her head up & stayed the course.
The contempt was unmissable. It was nasty. The audience mostly joined in the festivities but then again they had been primed by Bruce. It really did feel & look like bullying.
All I could think about was these two ww stepping on the head of this despised Black woman & using her as faire valoir while all were entertained.

It's time for the #Cin thread. #Days #DOOL
Let's start with Ciara mentioning to Julie that Tripp was making a romantic dinner for her. #Cin #Days
"Ciara, that's wonderful. So you're possibly going to be getting that pussy beaten up tonight? Are you sure you're ready for that? You were raped two years ago. I know that pain and so do a shit ton of women on this show." #Cin #Days

1) I’ve re-written the start of this tweet storm 5/6 different ways, but it ends up the same: the #NXVIM cult has so many separate lines of inquiry that it’s too early to really understand it. But some themes are starting to emerge, please follow along.

#Qanon #TheStorm @POTUS
2) This is going to be disjointed, stick with me and join in because I think this story lays themes & foundations for what’s going on in elite circles for sex trafficking & may even touch at the edges of things more devilish. Oddities and observations...

#MAGA #TheStormIsHere
3) Building a picture of what this cult is, the first oddity? Being based in Albany, NY. Albany? Then I started to consider why. Albany is the seat of the NY government, and deeply tied to NYC, where a lot of elite people live; have certain proclivities.
