She was with the medical school and often had a student or intern or something in tow. They were having a great deal of fun with some unusual reflex I had that apparently didn't mean anything really important.

> You had to have a doctor's referral to even get on the list. But she did a great job, and we fiddled until I now have reasonably good prevention on very little medication.Luckily - did I say luckily? - I see my GP tomorrow for a followup to my blood pressure. I will ask him for a referral then. This morning I've been taking feverfew. It's the only thing that is giving me relief lasting more than an hour or so from the pain.
I haven't had a migraine this bad in many months.
