I have a story to tell you about how MercyOne helped me live my best life by taking all the steps necessary to eliminate my migraine pain.
I had suffered from severe headaches my whole adolescent life and then into adulthood. Over the years I had seen many doctors prescribe me medications that in the end would only put a band-aid on the issue, but never fully treat the problem. These headaches were weekly pains in the neck and as I grew older and into my 30s they became even worse. They developed into migraines that were absolutely debilitating and I was starting to have them more frequently.
It was frustrating because nothing seemed to help the pain.
In the summer of 2018, I was having migraines 2-3 times a week. This was when I knew I needed to find answers because my quality of life was getting increasingly worse. I was referred to Dr. Shah (link: https://www.mercyone.org/northeastiowa/provider/sangeeta-shah-md-neurology
) and she was so thorough in learning my history and informative about the different options available to me. She prescribed me a medication, followed up to see how the medication was working, and made the necessary changes. Thanks to her care and concern my migraines were cut back by 80%.
I am now able to live the life I want and not let migraines control me thanks to Dr. Shah and MercyOne Neurology.
My advice to you all is this: Don’t let migraines stop you from doing what you love. Contact MercyOne Neurology Care (link: https://www.mercyone.org/?&utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=sponsorship&utm_campaign=influencer&utm_content=j-f) to make an appointment, no referral necessary.
