I definitely have executive function issues when I get a migraine but I learned to compensate for it and I think my son will too, but I would much rather that we find a cure for the headaches. So far the amitriptyline is not preventing the headaches, but is helping him sleep, which in turn allows me the sleep I so badly need. I feel like a different person now that I can get uninterrupted sleep.
I wonder if I would be diagnosed with executive function issues like my son if I were tested when I have a migraine. My executive functioning is very good without a migraine. I was very good at jobs like executive assistant and accountant when allowed to work around my temporary executive function issues. Should problems like this be diagnosed when it is a part time thing?
