Title: Looking for Doctor
Post by wip5150 on Dec 3^rd, 2003, 9:32am

Greetings everyone.

I've lurked here for a couple of years - usually during an attack. I've recently moved to the western suburbs of Chicago (Naperville to be exact) and am looking for a Doctor who is sympathetic to CH. Can anyone point me in a direction?

My last attack was 20 months ago (I'm lucky in this regard) and am also wondering what other types of meds I should be looking at besides Imitrix.

Thanks.

Maybe try the diamond headache clinic?

Sorry you are having problems, but glad you found us. I do not know of any Drs around there, but I am sure someone here does. So, just hang around and you will get an answer soon!

If you go to the OUCH Website button at the left here, and then click on the first menu above the map - there is a list of recommended cluster doctors, arranged by state.

Ask about getting a 'script for oxygen to go with that imitrex!
