EXTRA- Part 1: “Please Believe Me, I Have Migraine”
As if migraine isn’t tough enough, imagine being a person in a marginalized community who must convince their doctor that their symptoms are real? Sarah Shaw went through six doctors before finding Courtney White, MD, who not only advocates for migraine patients but is one herself.
In the first of a two-part episode, Sarah and Dr. White discuss their migraine journeys, racial disparities in treatment, respect of the patient, and using social media to educate the BIPOC and LGBTQA+ communities.
“I am a neurologist and a headache specialist. I am also someone who does have migraine disease,” says Dr. White. “And I've gone through the experience of having difficulty finding a physician that would diagnose me and then treat me appropriately.”
