Has anyone gone there and had success? I have ran accross their website in a desperate attempt to regain control of these damn things. It seems that now that they took sansert and cafergot off the market my neuro doesnt have a clue.. I'm not too hard on him though cuz he tries. we've tried everything that ive read here in the past and even alot of other things. nothing ever seemed to work except the sansert as a preventative and the cafergot as an abortive (only if taken within .2 sec of an attack)
I was just wondering if anyone has tried going to this place and if they were any good.
I am begining to fear that I might end up with surgery but I keep reading that even that isn't always a sure thing so I don't know what to do.

I'd be interested to hear your background info of things tried, years afflicted, chronic or episodic, etc. Also, how long have you either been on the board or lurked before posting. If you'll do this, I'll rack what's left of my head and see if I can't help you out!

I did not go to the Ha/Pain clinic you are talking about in Michigan but I did go to a HA/Pain clinic in Madison Wisconsin. The outcome was favorible. My neuro had tried me on Topamax at 200mg and I didn't get any relief. The specialist at the clinic said to take 600mg of Topamax. It still didn't do anything for me but it was a knowledgable posibility that my neuro wasn't aware of. He also tried me on 5 other meds that I hadn't heard of. Non helped. The end result was I had tried everything out there and I was put on methadone. I have been pain free for 3 1/2 months now. I definetly think it is worth your time to go. What have you got to loose? Time? I think a little time or little money is worth the possibility of being pain free. Good luck!
