Migranes and other health issues

I'm sitting here snuggling Louka, who has yet another migraine (second this week). Five years old and he suffers migraines regularly. It's so sad, so scary. Silent tears drop as I hold him and we pray for him to get better and for it not to be anything more serious. Tammy, Rose and Jasmine all suffer migraines, but Louka is by far the youngest to start -- the others didn't start until their teens. Our migraines, including Louka's, include severe headache, sensitivity to light, and vomiting. We're tracking our headaches related to being outdoors (allergies) and sugary foods (diabetes) to see if there is any link there.
Do you suffer migraines, allergies, or other possibly genetic ailments? PLEASE add your comments to this, so that we might see a common thread, genealogy, for these pains.

Hey Tammy,

I don't have migraines, and neither do the kids, but Brett's old girlfriend Alexis did. I hear that Magnesium might help. You may want to add foods with that in it, or give him a vitamin with magnesium.
