Title: It's Official: I'm a ClusterHead. Neurologist? Post by KHeller on Jun 5th, 2012 at 7:25pm
My CT came back normal and so I"ve been officially diagnosed with Cluster Headaches. I fit the symptoms precisely.
My GP wants me to come in and discuss management with her, but I'm wondering if I should skip that and just go straight to a Neurologist? Already started the Vitamin D therapy since I was found to be pretty significantly deficient.... |

Have you just been working with your GP so far? Or have you been working with a neurologist too?
Given the complexity of CH and relatively low incidence I'd look to work with a neurologist who specializes in headaches to get the best treatment as most GPs will not have sufficient experience. However do at least make a start on things with your GP. |

I agree with Mike, start with your GP. It sounds as if you have a good one there, so I would expect your desire for referral to a headache specialist would be forthcoming. Let us know how you make out. blessings. lance
