Is this a migraine? His body temp dropped to 95 rectally and was in and out of consciousness. Only responded to pain. Seen in the ER and now 10 days later another episode only not quite as severe and back in the ER. All test eg CAT scan, blood, Spinal Tap came back normal. Please help!
Hi Heidi!
It is possible that your son is suffering with Migraine disease. The only way to find out for sure is to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis. Nobody can diagnose over the internet.
The fact that you mentioni your son was in and out of consciousness makes me wonder if it is something other than Migraine. What did the ER tell you after you were seen? Did they seem to think it could be Migraine?
Here are some links if you would like to read about Migraine disease. Your best bet would be to take your son to a neurologist first for a proper diagnosis.

Good luck!
