Do you have migraines? Do you know someone who does?

This is really a fascinating three minute video describes what a migraine is, even in the very early stages. I actually came across this in my work on how to present concepts in visual ways. I can’t speak to the source, although it seems very accurate at least anecdotally based on my wife’s and my very different experiences with migraines. I have no idea why they pronounce it “mee-grain” but I presume the British lilt of the speaker has something to do with it.

I think this is a great set of easily consumable information about migraines.   I also have an OnTheShelf.com post on the related topic of migraine treatment and prevention.
