Migraine. Sax O.

Oliver Sax is a famous British neurologist and neuropsychologist, author of a number of popular books translated into twenty languages, many of which, including such as “The person who took his wife for a hat,” “Anthropologist on Mars” and “Migraine”, have become international bestsellers. In Migraines, the famous neurologist not only introduces readers to the clinical stories of his patients, but also examines in detail the nature of such a mysterious phenomenon as migraine. According to statistics, every fifth Russian suffers from migraine. Usually this word refers to exhausting headache, but in reality it is only one, the most typical sign of migraine. Often, people who do not experience headaches, but suffering from a sudden vision disorder, discomfort in the abdomen, migrating pains in the whole body and other ailments, actually suffer from the manifestations of the same ubiquitous migraine. For years they have been looking for the reason for their ailments, not even suspecting that their diagnosis is migraine.
