Hello, and welcome to HealthCentral's Migraine Community!
I see Teri answered your question and even put it up for the question of the week!
I just wanted to let you know that not all "headache specialists" are created equal so to speak. It’s important to note that neurologists aren’t necessarily Migraine and headache specialists. You see, neurologists may be fine doctors, but have a hard time being experts in one area. This is because they treat so many conditions like MS, epilepsy and stroke. A Migraine specialist is just that, an expert who treats one condition - ours - Migraines and headache disorders. When you get a chance, take a look at article Migraine and Headache Specialists - What's So Special? If you need help finding a Migraine specialist, check our listing of Patient Recommended Migraine and Headache Specialists.
