A Specialist Speaks: What Can a Migraine Specialist Do for You?

This morning, someone emailed me to ask what a Migraine specialist can do for her that other doctor's can't. A good question -- a common question. The "average" Migraineur probably doesn't need a Migraine specialist. Their Migraines occur only occasionally; they're not chronic or frequent.

everyone I love is "done" with these headaches they think I do it to myself

My family has had it with me. I have suffered with menstrual migraines since I was 11. I take all the preventive measures we read about, drink water, watch diet triggers, get regular sleep and exercise. I have been to countless numbers of doctors taken all different types of meds but have never been able to stop them. I... Read more Chevron
