Hi, best of luck with the testing but often in children it seems to show up later. There could be any number of reasons for headaches, stress, diet, or various deficiencies. My son had a continual migraine for 15 months and 4 days, a horrendous disabling migraine, yes he did end up being diagnosed with Hughes Syndrome/APS, but also later on B12 deficiency and with the support of my GP and also a migraine clinic, we did add in extra Magnesium, (all of the above done with medical support), some children are also very sensitive to nitrates in food like ham and things. The National Migraine Centre in London, were also very good with our family. MaryF
