My friend developed migraines around her periods after a gynecological procedure. Prior to this she had like 1 migraine in her life (does have a family history) and after she's had pretty debilitating headaches with each cycle. Like can't function, but acupuncture seems to be helping.

Went to the first neurologist who spent maybe 10 minutes with her, blew her off and said this wasn't a thing. Basically the "you're nuts/all in your head narrative."

Saw a second neurologist who spent almost an hour with her, validated what happened, offered a range of treatment options, and came up with a plan.

It's absolutely fucking insane how different your experience can be with the US healthcare system depending on the physician you sit in front of.
