Title: Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago --- any good?

Looking for a Doctor who specializes in CH in the Chicago area (west suburbs ideal). Anyone been to the Diamond Headache clinic? Are they knowledgeable with CH?

It's not so much the business as much as it is the specialist who works there, that goes with anywhere.

A CH'er from Chgo highly recommended Dr. Alexander Feoktistov/ Diamond Headache Clinic/ Chicago a few years ago when I did a research project on recommended doctors treating CH. Might inquire if he is still working there.

If you need additional doctors, PM me and will dig up my list of names for you in the Chicagoland area.

Judging from old posts, they lean toward histamine desensitization.

Met with Dr Feoktistov. Seemed pretty knowledgeable. Happy with my Verap/O2 combo. Suggested Prednisone next cycle. Claimed it was stopping cycles if caught early. Not much else to tell for now.

Also mentioned a new 3 year trial starting called ENFORCE with some new drug targeted to CH. Think I will start a new post to make sure people see it if interested
