Take your vitamins! My neurologist has me taking a vitamin D supplement, magnesium (magnesium is very important for migraine sufferers) Iron. Even though I eat plenty of red meat and greens I was still iron deficient. Another great supplement to look into is called butterbur with feverfew, my neurologist HIGHLY recommends it, you can find it on amazon here http://www.amazon.com/Foods-Butterbur-Feverfew-60-Capsules/dp/B0013OVXWQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1343226804&sr=8-2&keywords=feverfew+migraine
Oh yeah, and sadly I had to cut WAY back on my caffeine intake I went completely cold turkey for about a month and now I have a cup of coffee every other day or so. But it works!
My physician suggested the herb "Butterbur" for me, but I was unable to afford a trial of it (I'm on an extremely limited income). I understand it has a few good studies behind its use, and he was confident in the recommendation. (We ended up going with the prescription medication Gabapentin instead, and it's worked wonders for me.)
I realize you said your family took her to one doctor, but that's never the end-all, be-all! Get a second opinion, if you can! There are dozens of medications that can be prescribed to prevent migraine.
Also, see if you can help her keep a food diary - that's where she writes down what she eats each day, and you refer to it when she gets a migraine (and write that down, too), to try to make an association. Sometimes there isn't one - and sometimes there are more than one food triggers.
Walking out into bright light, first thing, is one of my triggers - sunlight can easily set me off. Loud sounds, too. Being suddenly startled can trigger them for me. Movie theaters have a 100% success rate of triggering a migraine in me (but are sometimes worth it).
I tried butterbur /feverfew and it did seem to let me lower my dose of meds https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0013OVXWQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I like to try new things and cycle supplements so I stopped after that bottle, but maybe I should try another cycle.
