I hope to God you will do more than talk for an hour to these folks.  Research, research, research  these peoples claims.    please!!!!!!!!!!!

Life is more difficult for the consumer since medicine has begun to develop aspects of any competitive business. We are simply not in a position to evaluate the claims for "cures" which are coming from a "profit center".

You should not have any problems finding a couple of good headache docs with whom to discuss your situation. Become aware of your options before making a commitment.

LOCATING HEADACHE SPECIALIST

1. Search the OUCH site (button on left) for a list of recommended M.D.s.

2. 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.

3.  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.

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.

        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.

Sorry to post again, was wondering if anyone has seem Dr Tarvez Tucker?? I guess she was head of the University of Kentucky headache clinic,.  She actually just moved in next to us, I have met her, seemed very nice, I may call her this evening and get her take on this as well as she did offer to help with ideas for treatment, she is no longer seeing patients since she is doing a fellowship.
