Migraine Awareness Month #20 - Run, Forest, Run

I am not an expert on how to properly move on to a new doctor.  Sometimes, depending on a person's circumstances or medical issues, moving on is a natural progression.  From the many stories I've read from other Migraine patients, the terrible treatment they receive from ignorant and uncaring doctors, forces the choice to move on.  In most of the situations where I chose to cut ties with a doctor, I simply stated that we have exhausted all possible treatments and that I'm choosing to seek more specific treatments from a doctor who specializes in Migraine disease and treatment.  Doing this isn't easy to do though, because for us, we rarely feel like we are in control of our disease nor what our doctors suggest (or don't).  Many times we feel we are at the mercy of our doctors and even though we know that it's better to move on, we feel obligated to stay.

Breaking up, in any kind of relationship, isn't easy and none of us eagerly look forward to do it.  Yet, it is an necessary component in order to grow.
