how to break up with my NP?
I have chronic intractable migraine, and I’ve been a patient at the best neurology/headache clinic in my state (WV) for several years. I saw an actual neurologist maybe twice way back at the beginning of my treatment, but ever since then the only person I’ve seen is an NP. She’s super nice and all, don’t get me wrong, but as far as treating me I feel like I’m a human dartboard, she’s just throwing drugs at me to see what sticks/works. I used to send MyChart messages once a month or so just to update her, let her know how things were going, but she never responded to me so I stopped, figured she didn’t care. I went from seeing her every 3 months to every 6 to once a year. I’d like to know if there’s any way to politely ask, without burning any bridges, that my care be switched to a neurologist or at least a PA, someone who sees me as a human and not a test tube, who takes my questions seriously. Thoughts/advice? Thanks much.
