You have a good Migraine specialist - in the US - not one in Canada. That's part of the problem, right?

    Dear Nancy,

    thanks for the support. Just woke up and saw this:-) But the funny thing is, my canadian Neurologist happens to be one of the top migraine specialists  in my province!Yell And those kind of comments are what I get from the "best migraine specialist" in Quebec? It's time for a new migraine specialist, but its discouraging to think he is considered the best!

     

    love and hugs,

    I'm sorry that it still seems to be a round and round battle for you. I hope the Effexor becomes some what reliable with diminishing your migraines.

     

    I hope you start seeing results on it soon!

     

    Hang in there!
