Migraine

Really helpful book to read as a partner of a person who suffers from migraines but who has never experienced one themselves.

I've long admired Dr Sacks' writing, and this is a bit drier than some of his later work, but it's still captivating to read and provides some interesting deep dives into centuries of writing on the topic.
