Hi...by what you quote I too feel that it is migraine only. I suggest you to go ahead with what the doctors have told you about migraine. Unless there are other danger signs like - incessant vomiting / double vision / seizures / weakness of any part of the body / loss of consciousness - there is no need for an MRI brain.
