Dr. Poe's Los Angeles Headache Blog

"I know you have a headache but why are you being mean to me?" Some of our best referral sources are family members of patients who used to have headaches. I had one patient tell me after wearing an orthotic "I have been hurting for so long that I don't know if I feel any better but my family likes being around me more." Yes you do feel better, you have been suffering for so long you forgot what it feels like not to be in pain.
Ask family and friends "what was I doing before my headache" maybe they can help you remember something to add to your headache journal. Maybe everyone else sees it but you. The point being is it is OK to ask for help because the truth is that your not the only one suffering. Not only do we get referrals from family members, but we also get big thank yous.
Until next time,
Dr. Poe
