severe headache

Hi i have a question regarding my daughter. She is 11 years old. She had no headaches to starting 2 weeks ago and progressed stronger the last two days. They are so strong that we had to go to the emergency room twice. Also she developed tremors. She lost control about her walking , cant see when headaches are strong. Her eyes roll back and her head arms and legs start shacking. In the hospital they give her benadryl, motrin and some medicine to calm her down. Also she got prescripted mitrin. The medicine put her to sleep and take the pain away for awhile but comes back strong when she wakes up. They did a CT in the hospital but could not find anything.

She never had headaches before the last two weeks and never has tremors before. I m worried because nobody can give me a answer. The ER doctors just said that she has migraens and she is so scared that she makes her body go in tremor. I dont believe the tremor part. Something tells me there is something major wrong.The neurologist and her pediatrician saying the same thing, They admit she has migrane headaches but cant really explain the tremors and lost of control of walking.
Im not even sure she has migraens. She has no fever, no neakpain. She has headaches reall strong what moves around her head.
Also her heartrate  is high and her pulse. When please somebody can tell me what this is and what can i do.

It’s extremely late for this answer but, for those who need clarity I suspect her migraines are extremely intense. Migraines are related to seizures, except there’s no real loss of bodily function or control, usually just pain, weakness and sometimes nausea. This is closely related to stress, and no matter the trigger(s), the intensity of the pain can snowball that stress into a stronger response. Identify the main triggers, and avoid them, and develop a stress coping method that will be perfect therapy not only in general, but to prevent and minimize future headaches.
