Dr. Smith
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.

All best wishes
Synnove

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.

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".
