    Hello, and welcome to MyMigraineConnection.com!

     

    I'm wondering what kind of doctor you are seeing? A Migraine specialist is an expert in Migraine disease and headache disorders devoting his/her entire practice to these conditions. If you see a neurologist, he may be a fine doctor, but probably isn't an expert, because he treats so many different conditions. Here is one way to think of it - You would call a plumber (the expert) to fix the leaky pipe in your house, not a carpenter. Some carpenters may be able to paint for you, put up trim, and do other odd jobs around the house. But the plumber only does plumbing. Neurologists treat many things - Migraine specialists treat Migraine and headache disorders.  We have a list of patient recommended specialists you can see by clicking HERE. It may be the best thing you ever did for yourself.
