You guys are such a big help! I think she was talking about how emotional pain feels the same as any and all other pain to our brains. Hmmmm...... break your leg and your brain might as well think someone broke your heart???
I do believe there is a connection and I've always heard that stress can make us physically ill. It's not a coincidence that I never had a migraine till my husband retired.

Not placing blame, just stating a fact.
I think the doctors should have mentioned that the cure for migraines was to reduce your ability to think. (thanks to this awful medication)
