Yes, I agree. I am looking for a headache doctor. The problem is that today in modern medicine, all the medical specialties are again devided into sub specialties, and one can be running around for ever. One can actually be dead before any diagnosis is found. I do not trust doctors. I am always cautious. And I do not take their word for things right away. I have too many bad experiences.
Doctors often like to see you come to the office, and they find nothing wrong at the time, just " fallow up" next time. So that they just can have a constant revenew coming in for their cash flow .
You know the old saying " see no eveil, hear no evil" ???
What you do not know, you are not responsible for.
The first time I went to a specialist that I thought specializing in migrane( which I had been told I had, migrane without pain, only now, 2 years later, I have migrane WITH pain), this doctor comfirmed that I had it and said "
Enjoy the fire works!"
( meaning the bright light flashing before your vision)

Seriously,: I am looking to get a good referal from a doctor to recomend me to a headache specialist.

I will tell you. I make up my own theories, and then I ask the doctor for the tests. because they need this little push some times.
I still have no answers to electrofyiong vibration down my spine, and bulging spasmic temporal pain.
My neurovascular doctor called me yesterday, he will arange for a temporal artery biopsy. This way, I can hopefully rule out temporal arteritis.
I still do not know where to find the headache doctor, and I still do not know why I had this pain.

Thank you so much for reading,
best wishes

I got several "good" referrals from doctors that turned out to be wombats, so BT-DT; I can empathize. It was only by accident that my orthopedist asked me offhandedly if I had seen "the headache guy", and things began to change.

Here's one possible site:
Florida - Migraine and Headache Specialists

Other leads here.

An initial visit is pretty standard now, and not always a bad idea. It can give patients the oportunity to size up the doctor too, before too much time is invested with one who just isn't a good match.

There are also some decent articles by goggling: what to expect first visit [specialty]

Yes, I agree regarding the initial visit to a doctor. I think I have to modify the way I conduct myself in regard to what will be discussed during that visit.
A patient should actually be able to have a free consultation with a doctor
in order to decide if this doctor's servises will be the right one.
Other professionals offers this.
Yes, I will be checking the list, I actualyy looked yesterday, and I noticed one of the neurologist on this list was a neurologist I saw at the Cleveland Clinic some 2 years ago, recently after all my neuro problem started.
But at this time, there were so many different issues, that headache were not adressed. And I did not know this doctor had as subspecialty Migrane.

I have a question now that I am looking back at the origional MRI of brain:
One or two findings were never discussed 10 finding "left posterior frontal lobe congenital venous angioma" and 2 " bilateral vertebral arteries impingement on the Medulla"

I wonder if theese can have anything to do with the headache.

Some are beginning to.
doctor get acquainted visit
I've seen them more with PCPs/GPs/Family Doctors and OB/GYNs than specialists, but it can't hurt to call and ask.

The kind of specialist I'm thinking of doesn't treat anything BUT headaches/migraines—their practice is limited to just that. Granted, they—or entire clinics/practices that treat only headaches—are likely to be found in metropolitan areas, and usually—but not always—associated with hospitals.

Doc

Thanks.
Yes these are some good ideas. I will be keeping this in mind, and be a little more asertive. You know, when we realy think of it, it is our health and our lives, and only the very best is good enough.
All the best

Also when you think about it, half of all doctors are below average.
The guy/gal who graduated at the bottom of their med school class is still called, "Doctor".
