Hi, try the Diamond Headache clinic in Chicago, Illinois. I have had very good luck with them with CH's and I know they do alot with migraine sufferers. Look up their website for all of the information. It will be about an 1 1/2- 2 hour drive for you, but I felt this drive is worth it (I live in the same area)....Hope this helps. Good Luck!!

I can also recommend Dr. Karyn Catt at Carle Clinic in Bloomington. I know it is Central IL, but trust me, she has been a godsend to me I would recommend her to anyone. She is the 6th neuro I have seen in the past 4 years and she finally diagnosed me.

1. Search the OUCH site (button on left) for a list of recommended M.D.s.
2. Yellow Pages phone book: look for "Headache Clinics" in the M.D. section and look under "neurologist" where some docs will list speciality areas of practice.
3. Call your hospital/medical center. They often have an office to assist in finding a physician. You may have to ask for the social worker/patient advocate.
4. http://www.achenet.org/physicians/ On-line screen to find a physician.
5. http://www.headaches.org/consumer/index.html Call 1-800-643-5552; they will send a list of M.D.s for your state.I suggest using this source for several reasons: first, we have read several messages from people who, even seeing neurologists, are unhappy with the quality of care and ATTITUDES they have encountered; second, the clinical director of the Jefferson (Philadelphia) Headache Clinic said, in late 1999, that upwards of 40%+ of U.S. doctors have poor training in treating headache and/or hold attitudes about headache ("hysterical female disorder" which block them from sympathetic and effective work with the patient; third, it's necessary to find a doctor who has experience, skill, and a set of attitudes which give hope of success. This is the best method I know of to find such a physician.

Hi,
I have a neurologist on the Lake Shore that is familiar with CH's. Not sure about Migraines. Check your PM's for the info.
Good Luck to ya. Hope you find something that helps.
