Desperate: need doctor to treat migraine
Hi all,
This is a desperate plea for help. I have suffered from migraines for over 25 years. Their frequency has increased gradually and I now have an attack about every 3 days. I have reached the limit of medication I'm allowed to take.
Normally, I would seek a doctor who I would visit maybe once a month to get some treatment program going. The problem is that finding such a doctor is difficult even when living somewhere. But: we are travelling, so I can't establish a long-term relationship with a doctor in the usual sense.
We are in Penang, about to cross to Indonesia, a proper third-world country. I'm considering abandoning our trip, if I can't get treatment.
What I need is a doctor who can continue to advise me via email. I know this sounds ridiculous. But, the only physical contact I ever had was to have my blood pressure taken, which is always normal. The rest is just talking, then taking a prescription to the chemist.
Can anybody help me, so we don't have to abandon our trip?
Regards,
Peter.
