But no doctor that I have visited would go into such detail to actually diagnose me with anything. All of them listen to my symptoms, dispense basic migraine medication and have me report back.

The amount of detail you describe in such diagnosis is nothing that I have experienced...and I'm up to 4 different neurologists to-date.
She was first diagnosed at UCSF through their vestibular testing that lasted 2 days. Yes she too was given prescriptions for pain that had bad side affects.

She was 1.5 yrs from having no private insurance so she looked up doctors who were experts in migraines and decided to go to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. Appointments can take months to get so call ASAP. The doctor from the Mayo Clinic was the one who encouraged her to try Botox.

Hope this helps
