help!!!!!

Hello, and welcome to MyMigraineConnection.com!

We are so glad you found us and yes, we can absolutley help you. First thing that needs to be done is to "fire that doctor's sorry butt" ! Any doctor who says you or your life, or job is the cause of Migraines is sorely misinformed.  Migraine is a genetic neurologic disease caused by overactive neurons in our brains and genetics. Clearly genetics play a role in your case because your mom and son both have Migraines.

Really, don't give that doctor another thought - he is so wrong. What you need is an accurate diagnosis and a Migraine specialist is the way to go. We have a specialist in MD you may be interested in checking out: HERE is our directory. Take a look at the article Migraine and Headache Specialists - What's So Special? for more helpful information.

That is ridiculous. Don't even question yourself about that doctor. I'm not even involved and I'm offended by his actions. I'm sorry that he tried to make you feel like your migraines are your fault. I hope you find someone you can feel comfortable with. -I tried visits with 3 different doctors and p.a's before I found one that I jived with. Good luck in your search with someone who will not prescribe Oprah as the best treatment! 

No you are not wrong for feeling the way you do after visiting him. His bedside manner sucks and I would have told him (I have in the past as I was walking out on him). Did he forget he was working for you. People need to understand not everyone needs a therapist! Just because you don't like your job doesn't mean you can't handle it. Maybe he needs to quit his job or get a migraine for an hour. Hang in there girl. You will find one with some sense.

God Bless.

i learned from the same situation that we, as patients, we have to be the mastery over our care.  we have to not settle for low care for people not willing to work for use.  we have to fight and demand the right to be care for.  we are the patients.   we are the ones that are sick.  we need to demand respect and concern when we pay for a service of care.
