Drooling. Episodic Hemiplegic Migraines. Treatment?
We are looking for the best migraine nuerologist in the US. Our son is having episodic hemiplegic migraines every 1.5 to 2 weeks. We need a specialist who understands that this is not just some psychological disorder, when our son who is 16 face drawns/droops and has paralysis on one side. All nuerologist test and cardio test and genectic test show everything is normal. This are true physical symptoms and the doctors in Winston-Salem, NC have been not helpful in trying to get these episodes under control and tell us that he needs serious counselling. Please help.
