For the many millions of headache sufferers, a journey into the author’s own excruciating headaches, and the science behind these surprisingly mysterious disorders that may, finally, offer relief.
This book provides ample and vivid evidence of the all-consuming pain that headache sufferers endure, in often excruciating detail. But Mr. Zeller does more than dispel the myth of malingering; he powerfully argues that justice must be done for those who...have been failed by a medical system that still considers headache disorders 'a trivial choice for specialization' ... Mr. Zeller provides the best articulation of what cannot be fully communicated ... What Mr. Zeller’s book offers, most powerfully, is testimony. It is not merely a headache, and it deserves our attention.
Rich material … Zeller aptly captures my experience … If there’s a lesson here, it’s that pain resists mastery, but understanding, however incomplete, can offer its own form of relief.
