Haley 17, and Caroline 15 both have AHC - they were both tested for familial
hemiplegic migraine as part of Dr. Svoboda's research and both her negative, if
this helps.

The biggest difference is the developmental delay. Hemiplegic Migraine
doesn't have any delay in development, and AHC does

Hi all,

I'm new to the group and was wondering if anyone knows the criteria for
differentiating between AHC and Migraine Hemiplegia. My neuro thinks my
3-1/2-year-old son has the migraine hemiplegia, but all the posts about the
water and "wobbly spells" are exactly descriptions I have used myself to
describe my son's issues. Along with the posts about sensory issues. He does
have the hemiplegia intermittently, but the "wobbly spells" are more the
everyday occurence. I suppose he could have migraines every day, but it
doesn't quite fit.

Does anyone have feeding problems? All the behavior therapy has helped us
to come a long way, but my son still does not like food and avoids nearly
all types of protein. This is our biggest issue by far.

If anyone knows the difference between these 2 disorders, I'd appreciate
it.

Thanks in advance.
