So tired of seeing neurologists who are not experienced enough with migraine to help me. Any advice on how to find a true migraine specialist in my area?

OUCH.UK (The Organisation for the Understanding of Cluster Headache) helped me to find a neurologist in my area who specialises in primary headache. They have also given me invaluable advice on problems related to headache e.g. what to do when I lost my job through the condition.

Having a good GP and neurologist is paramount so best of luck.
