Migraine

By
Oliver Sacks
Pan MacMillan
 'A mine of treasures, a source of visions, a microcosm of human
experience and suffering, the philosopher's stone: Migraine is a
remarkable achievement' - Sunday Telegraph.

Migraine is an age-old - the first recorded instances date back over

two thousand years - and often debilitating condition, affecting a
'substantial minority' of the population across the globe. In
Migraine, Oliver Sacks offers at once a medical account of its
occurrence and management; an exploration of its physical,
physiological, and psychological underpinnings and consequences;
and a meditation on the nature and experience of health and illness.
