I remember seeing something on this site (not sure if it was a post, page, link, or what) that had a list of Dr's in different areas that were recommended for dealing with cluster headaches.  I've searched all around but can't find it.  Can anyone point me there?

Thanks.

LOCATING HEADACHE SPECIALIST

1. Yellow Pages phone book: look for "Headache Clinics" in the M.D. section and look under "neurologist" where some docs will list speciality areas of practice.

2.  Call your hospital/medical center. They often have an office to assist in finding a physician. You may have to ask for the social worker/patient advocate.

3. START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or END PRINTPAGE; On-line screen to find a physician.

4. START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or END PRINTPAGE Look for "Physician Finder" search box. They will send a list of M.D.s for your state.I suggest using this source for several reasons: first, we have read several messages from people who, even seeing neurologists, are unhappy with the quality of care and ATTITUDES they have encountered; second, the clinical director of the Jefferson (Philadelphia) Headache Clinic said, in late 1999, that upwards of 40%+ of U.S. doctors have poor training in treating headache and/or hold attitudes about headache ("hysterical female disorder") which block them from sympathetic and effective work with the patient; third, it's necessary to find a doctor who has experience, skill, and a set of attitudes which give hope of success. This is the best method I know of to find such a physician.

5. START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or END PRINTPAGE NEW certification program for "Headache Medicine" by the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties, an independent, non-profit, professional medical organization.
        Since this is a new program, the initial listing is limited and so it should be checked each time you have an interest in locating a headache doctor.

Of course, you start a your front door: call MCV hospital and talk to the social service office.

Thanks.   I am currently with a doctor at MCV and while I like her, navigating the red tape of a huge public hospital for simple things like Rx refills is kind of a pain.  Would like to find someone in a smaller private practice.

That list was on the OUCH site which is now gone.

Bob,

Your START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or END PRINTPAGE hyperlink has a trailing blank (%20) that breaks the link in your post.  You might want to delete that blank...

I located my CH Neuro by going to the link on the left for "where we live", picking my state and emailing those registered recently in my area. it's a longshot but worked for me. Worth a try..

Good luck and pain free days.
Judy

Is this any good? Or could they lead you in the right direction.

Living in Ireland I can only guess at geography in your part of the world.

Best of luck,

Peter.

I compiled the most comprehensive doctor list recommended by CH'ers. Where do you reside? PM me and I will send you what I have near your residence.
