in the 11 years ive been with my wife ive run into 3 doctors that claimed there is no such thing as migraines and that my wife was just a drug addict looking for a fix.....just cause you can find someone with letters behind there name that says something doesnt mean what they say is true or what is accepted by a hell of alot of people with letters behind their names....you dont have to be a genius to get a PhD or an MD, infact some with them are [bleep] retards....
