    I hate to be the “nay sayer” but you have to remember headaches and migrains can be early signs of some nasty illnesses which if not caught early can significantly lower the chances of survival. My migraines are not a sign of anything bad but a friend of mine with literally the same symptoms as me turned out to have MS. His doctor didn’t order an MRI because he didn’t have any symptoms other than migraines. Two years after his migraines started he had an accident at work and emergancy room doctors ordered a scan to check for brain damage. They found the MS and it turns out the migrains where the first warning signs, he fell at work because of the MS. His doctor is having trouble getting the MS under control and feels that had the prevous doctor actually ordered a scan when the migraines started they would have had a better chance of slowing it. MRIs are safe and they don’t take all that long (my longest was 30mins) and yes getting one costs a lot but they can be the difference between an early intervention or a too late diagnosis.

    I disagree, ignorance is not bliss! More knowledge is a good thing. Sounds like this was written by an HMO.
