So Many Doctors

Since I was 17 I've been seeing a Neurologist for my migraines. The first one I had was really nice, and he seemed willing to help and try new things. Then he moved and I was left to find another doctor. One doctor told me to use meditation and avoid stress, one doctor told me couldn't help me, and one doctor barely acknowledged I was in the same room with him. It was very frustrating, I was in and out of the ER pretty regularly with severe migraines. One doctor at the ER made me wait there for 2 hours AFTER waiting for a few hours in the waiting room, to make sure I wasn't just there for drugs. Talk about embarrassing. Finally, I think I've found a Neurologist that is trying to help me, and that gives me hope.
