My mom had migraine headaches pretty much all her life. For many years she had been seeing the same doctor for her headaches.
Then she got old enough that she was on Medicaid, and she had to stop seeing that doctor because he didn’t accept Medicaid. So she found a different doctor. Different doctor prescribed a different treatment and lo and behold, her headaches pretty much went away after that.

- cf100clunk 2y agoMy paternal grandmother was a migraineur, but back in the 1930s she was treated as a "hysterical" woman and given opiates. Her battles could not be overcome and she lived a short life. Thankfully the treatments have evolved.
