How far have you gone ?

Hold on now ... this topic is not what you think ! 
CH sufferers will do just about anything to help stop the headaches. I was just wondering what the farthest distance you have traveled is to seek medical help. (Doctor appt.'s, hospitalization, treatment, drugs)
I have 2 neuro's at the moment. One is about 5 miles away and the other is about 400 miles away. I'm traveling 400 miles (one way) to a doctors appointment in the morning. Sounds crazy, huh !?

I have traveled as far as 7 miles to get to the Neuro......the pharmacy is 1.6 miles away. Thankfully, treatment protocols have been at MY discretion, and they worked, too. I like this place.

I drive 3 1/2 hours to get my hair cut.
But I have yet to find a doctor that is worth the drive.
Hhmmmm.

...and the International Category: a "contendah">>
...90 kilometers (about 55 miles) in a broken-down Toyota pick-up to a hospital... where there was no Oxygen and One count'em (1) syringe of morphine (i passed: the Peruvian guy on the gurney next to me had compound fractures to both legs and was makin' a lotta noise)
... followed by 12 hours of pacing up and down a filthy hall (I estimate at least another 2-3 kilometers)... but the MOFO kept coming back about every hour and a half so walking was better than HURTING somebody....
...then a *MANDATORY* flight to Lima (500 air miles) to be checked out by a COMPANY doctor.... he gave me a script for Valium...  ... 30-50mg will sorta fuck-you-UP... and you'll agree to most ANYthing...
...then another flight to the US.... mebbe 8,500 miles?... to a clinic in Denver... they were thinkin' DETOX: I was agreein'... but it had quit hurtin' by then.... and they DID have OXYGEN in a mask that hadn't been used by (tubercular/terminal/yeeech) other patients....

Well, aguess you could say that I did travel from Finland to UK... 
Okay, I study in London anyway. But now I've been treated for CH in here as well. And I must say, that my GP here seems to take me more seriously than the neurologist did in Finland!
And what's even better, she gave me this nice painkiller called maxalt (rizatriptan) 10 mg wafels, which actually take the ch pain away!
Best wishes & PFdays,
