Title: Need doctor in Northern Virginia
Post by crumpy on Oct 11^th, 2007, 4:09pm

I suffer from chronic clusters and CHDs. I am currently looking for a new doctor. I have tried all sorts of treatments and none have worked. I am looking for a doctor in Northern Virginia that has worked with patients like me. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,
Crumpy

Would you be willing or able to drive to Philadelphia? The Jefferson Headache Center (http://www.jefferson.edu/headache/home/index.cfm) is very highly recommended from a number of us!

Sorry that I don't know much more about docs in the northern VA area, though. I have chronic CH and new daily persistent headache (a type of chronic migraine) and both are very resistant to most types of treatments, but I go to Jefferson and they have helped me a great deal. If you've tried most everything, then likely you need a headache specialist who is on top of the latest ideas and research, and they definitely are!

PF wishes,
