Hi marcus,
I'm sorry to hear about your friend. The best thing may be for her to see a Migraine specialist rather than a neurologist. I'm sure her neurologist is a fine doctor, but it's difficult for him to be an expert in any one area because he treats so many different conditions like MS, epilepsy, stroke and Parkinson's. A Migraine/headache specialist treats one area - Migraines and headaches. We have a list of patient recommended specialists she can see HERE.
Good luck
Nancy
