Migraine Headaches Support Group
Migraine is a neurological disease, of which the most common symptom is an intense and disabling episodic headache. Migraine headaches are usually characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of the head and are often accompanied by photophobia (hypersensitivity to light), phonophobia (hypersensitivity to sound) and nausea.
I have to make a decision and I need to make it today: I hope I can get some of your input, I am really unsure of myself on this one.
I have waited at least a month with a neurologist that supposedly specializes in headaches and pain management. He is at a distance and I have to depend, to "beg" for my husband to take me to the visits. This man has credentials up his ka-zoo. He is also the one that required me to fill out a health form online. The thing is that all the questions about sex and how I deal with getting Aids frankly bother me. I get the feeling that I will be dealing with a very condescending individual. I want whatever physician I choose to talk with me, not at me.
Then there is a headache center 2 mile away from me, one that I can drive to and from myself. Only problem is that he is a PhD, not an MD..offers a lot of treatments, but only claims "substances available". I don't think i want to meditate when my head is splitting open, I want pain relief available. I don't understand what he is offering, exactly...does he refer to an MD for meds? Will that mean a separate visit on these occasions? I'm just too tired at this point to be spinning my wheels, my wheels are worn out from these headaches.
I would be so grateful for some refreshing opinions....!!!

I wish I could help you - I've had these headaches for a long time and have a good doc that really cares. Maybe a change of docs ?
