Publisher's Summary
New York Times bestseller (The Biggest Buff, The Confidence Game, Mastermind) and New Yorker writer Maria Konnikova delves into the mysterious ailment that she and 39 million others suffer from in the U.S. alone: Migraine, a disease that is still little understood, yet debilitating to its sufferers. Konnikova takes a clear-eyed look at migraine’s history, diving into current theories and more recent approaches - and offers a deeply personal account of what it’s like to experience migraine, usually with little warning and always to a level that is devastating to a degree.
Eighteen percent of women are thought to suffer from migraine, and Konnikova thinks that it’s not a coincidence that the ailment has not gotten the medical investigation that it deserves. It is unfortunately far too common to see medical data gaps where a predominantly female patient population is concerned.
Informative and entertaining, Migraine is an Audible Original for those who suffer from migraine and those with sufferers in their lives - which would amount to just about everyone.

A History and Greater Understanding of Migraine
I really enjoyed the historical treatments and accounts of migraine, and the evolution of treatments to where we are today. I definitely felt like I was seen and heard and part of this group of un-understood people. The book helped me understand more what is, and maybe what isn't happening in my head.
I feel like this book gave me more understanding but no answers, and that is not the author's fault but the nature of migraine, which is why it is so frustrating to begin with.

A must for migraine sufferers
I enjoyed this book. I keep up on new migraine info but learned a few new things. The narrator's voice can be annoying, but overall a great "read".
