One of the greatest things about this site is the Ask The Expert questions and answers. Too many patients have come to me frustrated by seeing doctor
after doctor for migraine headache symptoms, headaches after a motor vehicle accident, and menstrual migraine.
Feel free to ask questions about your headaches and associated conditions such as seizures. I am now treating fibromyalgia symptoms so feel free to
ask about that.
If you do not include the above information, or only give me a short question such as "I have a headache..what is causing it?" chances are I will not respond. All submissions must be 300-400 words.
I will try to answer questions within a day or two and your answer will be posted. You will receive an email when the question has been answered.
I am not collecting emails from this page.
As always, discuss all medical options with your provider.
