I'm glad your internist took the time to deal with all of those things in one visit! It seems like mine is so concerned with sticking to the 15-minute rule that she can only focus on one problem per visit. So, I rely on my pdoc to handle most everything. And he does. But, he is an anomaly.
Amazing how long it takes to see a headache specialist, isn't it? I got a referral to the headache clinic here back in January and my appointment was for October 2!!! But, by the time the appointment came around, my pdoc had sent me for an MRI, I had been to the sleep clinic and had a sleep study, I had taken several different meds for my headaches, I had been hospitalized, and then, miraculously, my headaches had all but disappeared. Part of me still wanted to see the headache docs, but there was no reason to do so.
And I had been getting headaches DAILY since age 10. For 16 years. And now I get one every now and again, but they're not severe.
I suspect I will get them back again at some point. But, I suppose time will tell!
