Colorimetry assessments and coloured glasses for migraines

Marshmallows

Hi, my daughter is suffering crippling migraines due to stress, anxiety and sensory overload, but due to being 16 the Dr is reluctant to prescribe her the stronger medication due to her age. I'm AuHD and have the same migraine problems and only recently found Sumatriptan after being admitted to hospital with a severe migraine, it's the only thing that works for me and after research found it is the one prescribed that works best for autistic migraines which I never knew was linked. Has anyone else got a child who uses it, she has tried it once and it worked perfectly, on the packet is says can be used for children over the age of 6 but the Dr wouldn't prescribe it.

I have also just researched colorimetry assessments as she has just started using colour overlays which she is finding really useful. I was wondering if anyone else has had this test done, it's not available on NHS and £200, I'm a bit reluctant to spend that amount of money if it doesn't help. I was wondering how much help coloured glasses actually help people who suffer with these type of migraines or even help with anxiety before I book her in for the test?

Many thanks x

  • I kept a food diary to see if any foods were triggering migraines and excluded the ones that were, for me it was chocolate and oranges, I can either seperately, but not together, so no more chocolate oranges for me.

    I also sought help from an osteopath who did some cranial work on me, it was amazing I went from a migraine every 2 weeks too one or two a year.

    I never found coloured overlays or anything helped with migraines or dyslexia.

    I did find things like the contraceptive pill made them worse or anything else that messed around with my already messed up hormones

    Thanks, we've done a food diary and nothing is linked. She is on the pill which has helped with her temper but hasn't made a difference with how many she gets.
