Hi Jessica5,
Well, that's awful. I'm sorry you had to endure a doctor telling you
"it's all in your head", when clearly migraine is a genetic, neurological disease. There is no image study, or blood test to diagnose it, it's a diagnosis of exclusion which means a qualified doctor goes over your medical history, and symptoms then comes to a diagnosis. I would strongly encourage you to seek out help from a doctor who is more knowledgeable in treating people with migraine disease. For more information on diagnosing migraine, here is an article; https://migraine.com/migraine-diagnosis/.
Women have struggled for years to get quality health care only to be told "it's all in our heads" when nothing could be farther from the truth.
Please keep me posted,
