Bush, Catherine "Claire's Head" - 2004
June is Migraine Awareness Month. And what should come up next on my list of ThrowbackThursday books? Exactly, a book about migraine.
If you have never experienced one, this book will tell you all
about it, even though it is a novel. And if you suffer from them, you
will find that somebody finally was able to describe the kind of pain
you get and that you are never able to describe yourself to someone who
doesn't know what you are going through.
If you have any interest or know someone with migraines, you should read this book.
See also my list of "Migraine Books".

I have a friend who really struggles with migraines. The closest I've come is a few tension headaches...and I know it's not at all the same.
ReplyDeleteThey're not nice either, Lark. And we all feel pain differently, so your tension headache might have been as bad as my migraines. Only, I get them all the time.
DeleteThanks for your comment.
Hmm, I didn't know there was such a thing like Migraine Awareness Month.
ReplyDeleteThere is a Chronic Migraine Awareness group, CMA, as I mentioned in my migraine list (there are a few links) and they are very active and try to help each other. I learned a lot about my illness through the group.
