[quote=Anonymous]Her best bet is a neurologist. I have had them since I was a child and honestly, very little helps. It really depends on the individual. Until I got to the neurologist, who is amazing, I just got blown off. If the neurologist does not listen or help, find another one and keep looking till you find the right one. We have never been able to find my triggers and I've done all the diets, etc. It could be genetic. Generally, the first rule out they do is an MRI to rule out a brain tumor. I do them about every 5-7 years. Most likely it is not a brain tumor but I would ask for an MRI just in case. Ibuprofen does nothing for a true migrane. She needs an abortive medication and if they are more than 10+ a month, then she needs to consider a preventative.[/quote]
