FRUSTRATED!!

Okay so I finally found a neurologists office in my area that specializes in migraines. (I've been all over the place around my area and then I've been to Thomas Jefferson-- I wouldn't send my worst enemy there-- I guess their really great if their first treatment plan works for you, but for the difficult ones they treat ya so bad until you can't take the abuse anymore) Anyways this place is supposed to be really good and I even convinced them to take me with a referal from my PCP instead of my neurologist because my neurologist is crazy and doesn't think I need to go anywhere else. So I'm so excited then they tell me that they need my records from my neurologist and then they will give me an appointment.. oh yeah and their waiting list is 6 months long.. I think thats torture enought but anyways then I call my neurologist and get the ball rolling with the records... OK that was like 5 weeks ago, my neurologist office uses an outside company to do their records and it's taking FOREVER so yeah today I called their company and cried.. yes cried to them for like 45 minutes. They don't care. I live in NJ/PA area and my records are in GA.. WHAT SENSE DOES THIS MAKE?>? Thank u all for listening I just needed to vent for a minute!

I had really bad migraines and my daughter had them worse. We both are headache free. We didn't use the doctor's to accomplish this. Just good commom sense. Headaches and migraines are mostly mineral/vitamin diffencies. But you have to get the ones that work the best. I will be happy to share what we used if you would like. Good luck and Blessings Carol

Neurologists offices! UGH!

I've had them tell me I called into to cancel an appointment with them - when I was standing right there waiting to see them.

And with the records. It is honestly better to make sure you read them first. Because they write things in there that are completely incorrect or that show they have prejudice against you.


Take care, hon. It is incredibly frustrating - vent away!

Not all migraines are mineral or vitamin diffencies so yo uhave to be careful what kind of migraine you have. I have had all my blood work done and I am low in iron but everything else comes out the way it should. There are times that for some reason my potasium will drop so low it feels like your going to die but then within a few hours of IV potasium you balance back out. There are so many different migraines out there and they are associated to different reasons for having them. Ther eis a Dr in Europe that has found a hole in the heart causes them!! Good luck on finding something that works for you. If you don't feel right with a Dr then walk away and find another. Some like throwing pills at the problem while some still think a migraine is just a headache!! Be safe in your search to a migraine free world!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
