Basilar Artery Migraine

Posted By Nina J. Click on February 07, 1998 at 13:13:05:









Are any of the Neurologist's at the Cleveland Clinic familiar with BAM? It seems to be very hard for Neurologist's to diagnose it. My migraines have changed over the last several months, Imitrex does not help at all. My last attack lasted for two weeks. I feel drunk, drop objects, stumble into things, pulsating headache above my right ear toward my eye. Throwing up food. My family Dr. says "stress" but the headaches wake me up at night they are so bad. I am 40 years old.  One of the reported best Neurologists in Dayton won't see someone JUST for a headache. Which is very sad. Karyn's Basilar Artery Migraine web page(s) have a lot of information on BAM and it seems to fit my symptoms.  Now I need to find a Neurologist that is open minded enough to listen or has direct experience diagnosing BAM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
