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.

Not just in my head!
It’s good to hear something that takes this incurable debilitating illness seriously. As a lifelong sufferer migraine and endometriosis stopped me having any kind of “normal” life.

Great narration
Whilst it didn't give answers it gave me some insights I didn't know; it's great to know you're not alone.

amazing book for everyone
I really loved this audio book, I couldn't stop listening till the end. It felt like I'm listening about my own experiences about migraine tbh and at the same time explained so many things I was never told about. Very easy to listen, very recommended.

a migraine sufferer
i am a life long migraine sufferer. the book still has many areas not touched, but good. i suffer with hemiplegic migraines along with others. i know most of my triggers thankfully after having intensive tests whilst i stayed in hospital. but this is a fabulous book that should be given to those who refuse to believe. To management so that they understand or have understanding. For all those people out there who think you are being a "drama queen" to get a reality check.
