DOCTORS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES NEED TO WAKE UP!

DUE TO CONSTANT INSURANCE CHANGES WITH THE CITY, MY HUSBAND IS FORCED TO CHANGE DOCTORS ON A REGULAR BASIS. HE WILL BRING HIS ENTIRE HISTORY INCLUDING TREATMENTS HE HAS TRIED IN THE PAST FOR CH. WHAT DO THEY DO? THEY SAY " STAY OFF THE CAFFEINE AND CHOCOLATE AND YOUR MIGRAINES WILL GO AWAY!" ARE THERE NO DOCTORS OUT THERE THAT KNOW WHAT A CLUSTER HEADACHE IS? WHEN YOU FINEALLY GET THE DOCTOR TO PRESCRIBE YOU IMETREX, THE INSURANCE COMPANY SAYS, " SORRY, YOU'VE ALREADY HAD 6 DOSES THIS MONTH." " WE WON'T PAY FOR FURTHER MEDICATION. "WE PUT MIGRAINE AND CLUSTER HEADACHES IN THE SAME CATAGORY. YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY THE $160.00 PER DOSE OUT OF POCKET. HAVE A NICE DAY! AHHHHHHHH.
HE ACTUALLY WENT TO A DOCTOR 2 WEEKS AGO THAT WAS VERY NASTY AND SAID, "I DON'T PRESCRIBE OXYGEN FOR HEADACHES!" THE GOOD NEWS IS HE FOUND A DOCTOR WHO IS VERY FAMIULAR WITH CLUSTERS AND LISTENED WHEN MY HUSBAND REQUESTED TO TRY TOPAMAX. HE HAS GONE FROM 8 A DAY 1 IN THE AFTERNOON. HE'S BEEN ABLE TO SLEEP THRU THE NIGHT AND, ASIDE FROM A FEW QUIRKY SIDE EFFECTS ,IS ABLE TO FUNCTION DURING THE DAY. THANKS FOR LISTENING. HAD TO GET THAT OFF MY CHEST. MAY YOU ALL HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND A WONDERFULLY BLESSED NEW YEAR.

Forget the Regular DR's and find a competent Neurologist.
Someone on this site can give you a good reccomendation. Where do you live?

Do you think that when they asked George Washington for his ID, that he just whipped out a One Dollar Bill?
