I am a little concerned I am not being taken seriously by my regular Dr.

(I have been to my Neuro as well)

(The way it works with my ins, I cant just go see my Neuro any time, so when my migraine flares up I have to go see my reg, Dr.)

Any way.......

The neuro did a CT & MRI and found that I have a tethered spinal cord and possible Trigimiginal Neuragial (sp?). He has stated that the tether spinal cord is causing not only causing the tention & pressure in the back, but also in my head and that the Neuragial has something to do with the nerve that comes from there into the head??  He has stated in his reports that he this the migranes are caused by this is some fashon.

However..........

Each time I go into see my Doc...he says.."naw, not it at all" and bruches me off.

What am I supposed to do now? I cant change Doc's....this is now a "pre-existing" condition. ~Gotta Love insurance companies~

My head (& back & everythin else) is killing me & Im scared to go back & get the brush off again.

 

Thanks
