Today, my mother won't give me any painkillers for my migraine. She believes that "When medicine goes into your stomach, the acids stop the medicine from working" and that "It's all in people's heads when medicine works". FML

that's actully quite correct. studies with a placebo have shown the power of the mind can add to or heal a sickness.

yeah but I think I'm fairly correct in saying that most medicine aren't placebos

mhmm. I understand that. but the tests show that maybe if she did other activities to distract herself it may work better to help her headache then popping pain killers.

If it was just a headache then yeah I would agree but a migrane can be quite debilitatitng and usually requires some sort of meds to ease it. The placebo affect can fool you into thinking you are better but in the case of a migrane no amount of positive thinking will shift it.

Congratulations, you mom is an idiot. We should probably also stop prescribing penicillin as people only imagine their infections disappearing, right? Depending on how old you are and how frequently you get migraines, you could buy your own pain meds, though. I've had migraines since the age of 5, and at some point when I was a teenager, I started buying my own migraine meds to keep my parents out of my business (not that my parents were anywhere near that stupid, but it's still nice not to have to discuss every pill you take).
