Title: Better luck with the doctor
Post by spanish on Jul 21^st, 2007, 7:30am

Zany saw a different doctor yesterday ;;D, and she was a bit more helpful than the last idiot he saw.
He has got a refferal to a neurologist now its on the 23rd august, we just hope that he knows sumthin about CH's when we get there :-/.
Zany was surprised cos when he went into see her yesterday she knew a bit about CH and said that she had another CH patient that she see's, although who ever it is see's a neuro up at QS, we thought that Zany was the only 1 in our town :o.

The Amitryptaline seems to be working ok so far, Zany has been on it for about 5 weeks now O2 is working up to a degree, it doesnt abort all of them, but the Imigran does when he has to use it( as a last resort).

Well i better go ;;D

You know my CH'r and I keep a file. We keep copies of all the new research we come across (alot of it here). When his series begin he goes to see his neuro so they can review all of it. Since most MD's are not experts on the subject we do what we can to educate. It helps to get us all on the same page. I'm sure the neuro takes what my CH'r takes in and the validates through their channels which is great.
