I imagine this happens often. It's much easier to prescribe a med than to spend hours researching a patient's lifestyle.

"Health Care" has become "The Medical Industry". There's no money in keeping people healthy. How many times do doctors prescribe pills to counteract the side effects of other pills that they are prescribing? What kind of sense does that make? None! But it does make dollars.
I have a predisposition to high blood pressure. It runs in my family. I had a doctor who wanted me on pills. I said "What about diet and exercise?" He said "No. I have to take them, so you have to take them." The same doctor was worried about my heart, so he ordered a bunch of high-dollar tests, cost my insurance company money, and me time. It turns out I have the heart of a 30 year-old (I'm 54), with no sign of plaque buildup or heart disease. He probably got kickbacks from the people who administer those tests. I don't go to that doctor anymore.

Congratulations on discovering the root of your problem. You are what you eat.

BTW, I almost passed over this thread because of the title. Migraine sufferers might miss your hook.
