You also don't indicate what a patient is supposed to do to relieve other painful conditions if they come off painkillers for arthritis, back pain etc.

Well, therein lies the problem for a migraine sufferer trying to communicate with their GP: you regard migraine as something relatively trivial that can be managed, as if it's a casual headache rather than a serious neurological disease. Migraine is not "benign", even if it's not a tumour. It's not benign in any use of the term. For some of us with inherited neurological issues, we have the very real fear of it leading to even worse problems. A migraine sufferer, a person with particular neurological sensitivities, can end up suffering stroke or strokes that paralyse them, kill the ability to speak properly, and result in vascular dementia. Clearly, you need educating. You don't get it. Too many GPs don't get it. This condition is common, it causes misery, and it causes serious issues relating to employment, and daily life. If you knew what migraine is, you would not be talking about managing it. You'd be learning about it so you can actually be of some use to your patients.
