THANK YOU MARK FOR YOUR OPTAMISM IN THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY. I UNFORTUNATELY HAVE AN OLD SCHOOL MD, WHO TOLD ME THAT I AM VERY LUCKY THAT MY "MIGRAINES" GO AWAY WITHIN AN HOUR OR TWO AND THAT OTHERS SUFFER MIGRAINES FOR UP TO TWELVE HOURS. HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT CLUSTER HEADACHES ARE AND DOESNT LISTEN TO ME IN THE LEAST, EVEN WHEN I TOLD HIM I WAS DIAGNOSED YEARS AGO BY A NEUROLOGIST. HE WONT EVEN GIVE ME A REFERAL TO A NEUROLOGIST BECAUSE HE SAYS HE CAN TREAT ME FINE AND THEY GET FAR TO MANY MIGRAINE PTS. I GET VERY FRUSTRATED BY THIS SO I FIND MYSELF TELLING HIM WHAT TO ORDER FOR ME AND HE WONT. WHAT DO YOU PROPOSE I DO??
I'M ON DAY 23 AND ITS DESTROYING ME.
