Dr Thinus diagnosed my CH without a shadow of a doubt when he heard the symptoms and prescribed IMMIGRAM tablets, to which I have responded to.

member comment:
Dr Gawarikar is a neurologist operating specialist clinic out of Calvary Hospital. I needed a referral from my GP and it took a little while to get in - BUT - he is familiar with CH and first line drug treatments, and is willing to note O2 as a therapy.
I was impressed to find someone after years of not getting much help.
