How a Neurologist Helped Me

Hey! This blog is dedicated to all of the neurologist out there who work so hard to help their patients overcome their illnesses. I'm Dave and last year, I began to get very bad cluster headaches. They would occur suddenly and I would have to take to my bed for several days. I was becoming really upset by them. I went to see my GP and he recommended that I see a neurologist who carried out some tests and provided me with some medication. I am now doing much better than I was and I hope to manage and control my condition.
