What gets me about migraines is how global they are! I don't think they should be called migraine headaches at all. From light, sound, and movement sensitivity to intestinal disturbance to problems with perception. That strange feeling of unreality (of course when the walls are shimmering and appear to be an illusion, it's probably natural to have feelings of unreality.) Migraines seem to affect everything. During those periods of time when I get migraines, they seem to never stop. The headaches might come and go and the visual distortions might stop, but I still feel the rest of the phenomena.
I'm trying to read Migraines by Oliver Sacks, but I usually only pick it up when I have one, and naturally I don't get much reading done at that time.
