   I got a phone call back around 4pm this afternoon, telling me that "I would just have to bear with it" to ride it out, and if needed to contact them again later on my condition.  After all, she said "there is no miracle pill" - and I said I know that, but I'm trying to get to the point where I am somewhat functional in life.

 

    Here I am, about 830pm - EST - and my head is throbbing, but my FRUSTRATION level is so elevated right now.   I am at a loss for words - when I've conveyed my pain - and feel I've been dismissed.   

 

     I don't expect complete and sudden relief from this chronic issue with migraines, but know it will take time and experimentation to get the right combination to minimize the impact upon my quality of life.

 

     I just need a sanity check - am I over reacting to think about going to a new neurologist - or should I just subscribe to this level of care?

 

     Thanks to anyone who has read this and listened to me "vent".
