Does anyone have a recommendation for a neurologist?
I'm on day 9 of this on-and-off headache/migraine, and I'm listen to those who love me. It's more than time I saw a specialist.

I have an amazing holistic chiropractor and a really good acupuncturist if you think that will help.

I'll keep that in mind. At this point, I think I want to rule out any possible major issue before I investigate the alternatives.

I've never seen a specialist before. I showed up at a general practitioner's office one day after a week-long migraine, and started crying, so they gave me a shot of imitrex and it worked. I suspect you've tried that already and it isn't making a dent?

Don't rule out a visit to the ER. Sometimes the cumulative pressure can just be too much for regular meds to help.

I saw a nice neurologist for my carpal tunnel-- Dr. Sara Shuler with Dekalb Medical Center. I don't know how she does with migraines, but she's friendly and direct.

Dr. Hedaya helped me a lot. He's easy to talk with, thorough, and knows his stuff. Heres some info on him:

Did you help you with migraines or something else?

Migraines. Bad ones. Caused me seizures.

Thank you! Any recommendations would be great.
A couple that other folks have recommended aren't on my insurance, so I'm still looking...

She's not got the best bedside manner, but she's damned good at her job. Dr. Sonal Hazariwala. Let me know if you want the number. I have had other doctors compliment her to me on her thoroughness and talent.

Drat - She's not on my insurance.

Isn't your brother a neurologist?

I take Topomax for the same troubles
Works wonders

My brother's a neurosurgeon, and he's out in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I'm asking him anyway, just in case he knows anyone in this area.
I'm tried Imitrex before, but it did nothing for me.
