Does anyone know of a headache clinic that won’t make me get off my opioid?
I need to go to a headache clinic. I’ve tried every HA and migraine med that exists and every treatment I’m willing to try with the exception of psychedelics (I want to try them, but no one near who me does it is taking new patients; I might have to go somewhere else and pretend I’m doing it for mental health issues, which I have, since the research and treatments are more robust in that space). I want a doctor who will manage my pain with my ideal opioid dose. It’s the only thing that’s ever worked, and I’ve been trying things for almost two decades.
I’m tired. I don’t believe anyone can fix them or find what causes them. And I don’t care. I want to take my painkillers in peace. But pain management practices no longer just manage pain; they’re “interventional,” and I am done with interventions.
If anyone knows of a headache clinic or specialist who will not kick me off my opioid or make me try treatments with which I’m uncomfortable, I would really love to know.
