Q: How do I find a list of the world's leading migraine doctors?

I have had debilitating migraines for 4 years now and I have seen every doctor that has been recommended to me. How do I find a list of the world's leading migraine doctors? I have seen Dr. Matthews, Dr. Black, and Dr. Kruz and I am currently seeing a pain management doctor, but I do not want to stop believing that there is a doctor out there to help me.

As far as I know, there is no such list. Sorry.

 

We maintain a listing of Patient Recommended Migraine and Headache Specialists, and several of the specialists there would be considered leading doctors.

 

How long do you work with a doctor before you move on to another one? Since you've had your debilitating Migraines for four years, and you've already gone through three doctors, maybe you're givng up on them too soon.

 

My experience is that it took a while to make progress, and it took four years with my specialist to get to the point where my Migraines are well managed.

 

Welcome again,

Teri,

 

Thanks for the response.  I stick with the doctors until they say that there is nothing else they can do for me.  I have heard from doctor after doctor that I am the toughest case they have ever seen and they are at a loss.  So that leaves me at a loss.  I am currently seeing a pain managment doctor that Dr.  Black recommended and that has helped me the most, but it has not helped enough.  My quality of life is still not very good.  I may get 3-7 good days a month where I can function.  The naseau is the worst part.  All I am currently getting is pain meds and that does not fix the problem.  Any advice is very welcomed.

 

Where can I find the patient recommendations at?

 

Thank you so much for your help.
