Jackie CH.com Moderator CH.com Alumnus Offline Go For It!!! Posts: 5903 Goshen, IN Gender:	Question.... Sep 28^th, 2010 at 6:10pm I have a friend who has clusters and migraines. She's looking for a good headache doctor who knows how to treat both. We're in the midwest (northern Indiana) but she's willing to travel anywhere to see a good doctor who can help.... Any suggestions? Thanks, Jackie

Dr. Kenneth Moore in Chicago is very good. He used to be with Methodist Hospital (teaching hospital) in Jackson MS. Jimbo used him for clusters and I used him for migraines. He's a good doctor and a good man. He actually got into the field of headaches because he suffers from migraines.

Reply #4 - Sep 29^th, 2010 at 1:21am I'm sorry, but my Neuro took over a sleep clinic and quit taking HA patients several years ago. Haven't been able to find another good one since. Have a good GP who will go along with whatever I think I need, so I quit looking for a Neuro about 4 years ago. Jerry

Jerry - doesn't your CHs result in sleep problems? So of course that neuro is just perfect...

Reply #6 - Sep 29^th, 2010 at 10:46am Jackie, Wish I could help you, but (the best) my neuro is in Longview TX. If your friend wants to come to Longview - Richard Hamer is the best one I know of. He has migraines and is wonderful - keeps up with everything about headaches and has a BUNCH of CHers. My best to your friend..

I don't know if your friend is on the eastern or western side of northern Indiana, but Cleveland Clinic would be well worth the trip. Their headache clinic has about 9 docs who specialize in CH (or so they claim). After about 5 docs, we finally found CC and Dr. Mark Stillman finally got it right. Downside = be prepared to have a wait to get an appt and ask to be put on the cancellation list if an appt opens up. Good Luck.

Reply #8 - Sep 29^th, 2010 at 3:58pm Mike, You'd be right except I don't get REM hits, so I just don't sleep until I know I'm done for the night. Often it's into the morning, but Apnea isn't an issue for me. (that I know of ) Jerry

Seester... I think that Dr. Davies at Carle Hospital/Clinic is just super.. Just like Callico, Dr. Davies also works in the Carle Sleep Clinic.. but he's one of the best Nero around...

I don't know if he's taking new patients or not.. but I have a 3pm appointment with him today and I can sure ask him.

I see some posted a doc in Indianapolis, I sure that would be a lot closer...

She's a nurse and my next door neighbor....small world....a cluster sufferer right here. I'm sure the migraine/cluster combination is tough! One is terrible enough but both! I know we have several here that suffer both.... We'll see how it goes....thanks again!
