A study underway at MHNI indicates that headache sufferers have problems with thinking when they have a headache, and concentration and problem-solving can actually lead to an increase in headache pain.

I am thinking of sending this to the neuropsychologist that tested my son in one all day test even though he complained of fatigue and headache. ... I told the neuropsychologist that the headaches affected others in our family in a similar way and she didn't seem to believe me.

Am I missing something? Is there really any question that there might be a significant drop in someone's ability to perform on neurocognitive tests when they had a migraine? I mean, really?

I will refrain from making any comment about the neuro-psych, but you should have seen some of the ones I've written and deleted already.

You can start to explain just how debilitating the headaches are, as you can contrast the scores with and without.
