Melissa, 22, suffered from chronic headaches and gastrointestinal pain, with pain so severe at times she considered suicide. Several different gastroenterologists and internists had evaluated her but could not give her a diagnosis or an explanation for her complaints.

The last specialist Melissa saw accused her of making up her symptoms as a cry for attention. Sadly, this type of response is common in physicians who have big egos and are too incompetent to understand their patient’s case. I have heard it many times from my chronic patients and in emails from readers. It is always upsetting that a physician would accuse a patient of such a thing.

When I saw Melissa I was able to properly diagnose her with abdominal migraines. These migraines are associated with imbalances in the serotonin system and its impact on blood flow regulation. In her case the migraines were impacting the vascular system in her gut-brain axis. Her case required a lot of work, but because she was suffering so badly I immediately referred her to a family physician to prescribe her migraine medication. The medication really helped if she took it immediately when symptoms started.
