headaches are usually not a feature of multiple sclerosis. however headaches are a common problem and many ms patients have migraine headaches along with their ms. the headaches need to be treated since the constant pain can be very demoralizing and make life more difficult. your son's neurologist should be able to work with him to find a medication that helps his headache pain. you may want to ask your neurologist about midrin and topamax. both of these drugs have seemed to help me in the past. i have also tried botox injections - alot of injections around eyes neck scalp as well as my mouth as i twitch there off and on. have tried botox injections twice now and find them only mildly effective.
