Are there any CH'ers out there from Wisconsin?

So many that I have to come up and visit a couple of times a year. [smiley=smokin.gif]

Hiya from SE Wisconsin.

I'm a supporter, not a sufferer. There are 6 or 7 from WI here (as far as I can remember), as well as nearby in NE IL.

Well hey Wisconsin folks! Me and my hubby (he's the one with the CH) are relatively new to this site. Would love to hear about any specific good/bad responses to doctors in this area. Have you tried the headache clinic in Milwaukee or the one in Chicago? Glad yet sad to know that we're not alone in WI.

Welcome, I have never been to the headache clinic in Milwaukee or Chicago. I do have a good Doctor in the Chicago area. Dr. Lawrence Robbins. He is very good, in my opinion.

I live in Madison, WI. I have chronic ch that is in remission right now. I went to the ha/pain clinic at the UW clinic system in Madison. They confirmed I had tried all the meds out there to try with nothing working except that when I tried topamax I tried it at 200mg and they wanted me to try it at 600mg. It still didn't help me. So they went the pain manangement route after that. They are very knowlegable in ch and in what meds to try to take to prevent them and abort them. If you ever get to Madison PM me and maybe we can get together.
