If you suffer from headaches, the first thing I always ask is "Do you have a neurologist?". This is the first step in getting your migraines under control. You may be seeing your family doc, and thats dandy, they are GREAT at MANY things, but to truly treat migraine, it is my feeling and that of MY Family doc, you need a neurologist and ideally one who specializes in migraine. I had several neurologists before I found mine, and he helped change my life for the better. It took time, it didnt happen over night, but he never gave up, he always reassured me, we would find something to make my life more livable. And he delivered.
My second thing, I offer to let your borrow my copy of "Heal your headache, the 1-2-3 approach" by Dr Bucholz. It is a wonderful place to start and has a 4 month diet that will scare you, but after you do it, you will be so glad you did.
Who is my neurologist you might ask "Dr. Patrick Hogan at Puget Sound neurology". I tell everyone they should give him a try. He definately is willing to think inside and outside the box to help you get your life back! And you will love his receptionist (Roxie).
