I did it. I finally had to leave the neurologist I was seeing and head back to the one I was with before. I am not thrilled with this decision but I don't have much choice. The doctor I was with for the past 3 years (we will call him Dr. A) did not believe migraines were a disablility. I don't know if it was the weather, treatment, or the distressing fact that Doctor A didn't believe migraines were a disablity, but the migraines just started getting much worse. Instead of my usual 8 or 9 a month they increased to about 11-13 a month. Plus the symptoms have started getting worse. I am getting more aura's and the pain has moved into my temples for the main part and not so much into my eyes anymore.

I really didn't want to return to my previous doctor ( Doctor B) because our relationship was not the best. A wonderful person, but we just didn't see eye to eye on my treatment. However, Doctor B does understand that migraines ARE a disability.

Since I am receiving social security and my father's insurance will continue to cover me because I am unable to sustain a job, I need a doctor to fill out a form saying this is true. Doctor A refused saying that would be lying. Doctor B was always happy to fill it out because it isn't a lie. When my father switches jobs I will need that form filled out. During my visits with Doctor A, my PCP was filling out the form because I also have a number of other illnesses that are also considered  disabling. However, my migraines are my main disability. My PCP has left her practice and now there is no one to fill out the form. You see my predicament?

I have been contemplating seeing a different doctor for a while now anyways. This situation was just the straw that broke the camel's back. The doctor I want to see is in the same practice as Doctor B. I was hoping beyond hope that I could see that doctor. My past experience with switching doctors in the same practice has always been NO. Always some BS non-existant legal reason. So when I called up the old office to give it a try I wasn't surprised when the office manager told me NO. Conflict of something, against the rules, bla bla bla.

I am hoping that 3 years apart from Doctor B will have been enough time apart for new perspectives and the such for both of us to start a new relationship. Or at least improve the old one. I am really hoping this because if not, I am really screwed on getting a new doctor.
