[QUOTE]Originally posted by LOA: [QB] Getting a new perspective may not hurt, even if you DO have the best doctor in the area... I'm contemplating it right now, and it's a hard thing to do, because I KNOW that my doctor is phenomonal, but I just feel like I'm at a point where we're getting nowhere and a new set of eyes on my case file wouldn't hurt and might help... I wish you luck... that's a horrible situation you're in. I've never had a staph infection, and I pray that I never do. That's my biggest fear when I'm in the hospital, because I know a lot of people in my migraine support group that went in without one and somehow came out WITH one... it's scary! I hope they can find something for you soon.... I presently am doing more research than a medical student completing a research thesis on a condition called idiopathic intracranial hypertension. It's rare in the general population, but I've found through reading case studies that it's VERY common in migraneurs such as myself who do not respond to any other treatments. I've already tried once to talk my doctor into testing me for it, and he would not, even though I exhibit almost all of the symptoms. His reasoning is that I'm not overweight, as most people with this condition are, and my optic nerves are not visibly swollen, as is a common symptom. Well, The more research I do, the more I find that the swollen nerves are NOT always seen in a common eye exam. And skinny people can get this condition, too. Just not as commonly. So I think it may be time to see another doctor, just for a fresh outlook. I think in time, whether a doctor means to or not, they just become accostumed to the patient and start to miss symptoms that are right in front of their eyes. *shrugs* Anyway, I hope this isn't happening with you and I hope you can find some relief. I'm glad the visit with Jen went well! ~Liz [/QB][/QUOTE]
