"The many manifestations
of migraine can vary dramatically from one patient to another, even
within the same patient at different times. Among the most compelling
and perplexing of these symptoms are the strange visual hallucinations
and distortions of space, time, and body image which migraineurs
sometimes experience. Portrayals of these uncanny states have found
their way into many works of art, from the heavenly visions of Hildegard
von Bingen to Alice in Wonderland. Dr. Oliver Sacks argues that
migraine cannot be understood simply as an illness, but must be viewed
as a complex condition with a unique role to play in each individual's
life."--from Goodreads
