Patient quote of the day

"My headaches only happen when I'm sleeping, and are gone before I wake up. I don't remember them, either. So when I wake up, I don't know if I had one or not."

PHDnotMD said...: So exactly HOW does this patient know that he/she should be seeing you for headache treatment, then? Or, for that matter, if the therapy is working? "Huh?" is right...; May 24, 2010 at 5:00 PM

Anonymous said...: Wish I had those headaches.

Traveled this weekend and my son's girlfriend commented that I moan in my sleep sometimes. My son said, "Yeah, she does that a lot when she has a headache."

Unfortunately I still had it when I woke up and I remember it! Can you fix me like that???; May 25, 2010 at 7:05 AM
donna said...: BTW: Does she think that there
will be a huge discount on your
fees if she does not actually
feel the headache, wake with headache or have all the drama of
trying to control said headaches?

B*tch!! What a waste of time! Did
she want the 'good' stuff for them?

WV: TORANI New migraine drug???
Maybe Toradol in new form for those that don't feel headaches.
Sorry again for this ... B*TCH!!!
A slap in the face today, woke up
felt migraine and have since since
then....RANT: B*TCH! B*TCH!! There
