    Great article. I’d like to add the most important quality of a GP/doctor is actual willingness to treat migraine!!!! Many GP’s in Australian simply won’t treat migraine because they believe they are due to anxiety which they also won’t treat.

    After going through four different doctors, the best care I’ve gotten is with a neurologist and my general doctor as a backup / prescriber when I can’t get into see (or am waiting for my) neurologist.

    Many general practitioners want to just treat the pain, and migraine specialists are too academic and too experimental. At the beginning of each cycle, my neurologist does a thorough brain health exam, apprises me of anything new/worthwhile he’s read or seen with his patients, and then set a course of treatment. This has lead to my best treatment mix of oxygen/verapamil/imitrex — and anecdotal info that I’ve tried.
