ptsd C & P For Migraine Headaches

[jhilly]

anyone know the reason for an examainer rubbing the side of your face and asking you to track a pen with your eyes during a c & p for migraine headaches..

also, can a VA doc force you into detox for alcohol abuse when you are being treated for PTSD???

I know the feeling brother...thx for replying to my questions...

Went through the C&P for Migraines not to long ago. I get Cluster Headaches but it is the same exam and rating to the VA. Carlie is correct, the pen test is a neurological test. They also poked me in the arms, legs, hands and feet. I asked and she said it was to check for poor circulation.

She also told me there is no way for them to really test for Migraines/Cluster Headaches and that they are just ruling out that you don't have other problems that would present with the same/similar symptoms.
