I have had a terrible time finding someone for my daughters migraines.  Through my mistakes I would recommend that you find a good primary care doc that understands migraine.  Ask when you call to make that initial appointment.  If you go to a neurologist make sure that they don't specialize in one area such as sleep.  The neurologist I took my daughter to said she couldn't have migraines because she didn't always get headaches.  But she always went into a hyper sleep state before the migraine or as the first phase of the migraine.  Sometimes the headache would be light or not at all.  So he said she must have a sleep disorder.  We ended up having to have a sleep study done as well as MRI and EEG.  Still don't have a migraine diagnosis.  Which is a real important first step to advocate for yourself or your child.   Shirley
