(  ) Steve_Walker | Sep 13, 2020 | PORTUGUESE: Para leigos: 3,5/5 Para profissionais da área, eu diria 4,5/5 ou 4,0/5, pelo fato de já estar um pouco velho (mas pouco obsoleto em vários aspectos). Um livro bom para enxaquecosos que queiram conhecer mais a enxaqueca e a si mesmos. As partes IV e V possuem muitos trechos de difícil compreensão para o grande público (no caso, eu), mas ainda vale a pena dar uma olhada. Não é um livro para quem procura a "cura" para a enxaqueca e também não é uma leitura fácil. ENGLISH: For the lay people: 3,5/5 For professionals in the area, I'd say 4,5/5 or 4,0/5, just because the book is a bit old right now (but not dated in many aspects). A good book for migraineurs who want to know more about migraine and about themselves. Parts IV and V have a lot going on for the big public (me included), but it is still worth to take a look. This isn't a book for someone looking for the "cure", nor is it an easy read either. (  ) Spr1t3 | Jul 31, 2018 | Published in 1971, revised in 1991, in 2014 this technical in-depth treatment of the state of knowledge on migraines is terribly out of date. Perhaps it would be interesting as history of medicine or in a "Look what they thought in 1971!" kind of way. WildMaggie | Feb 1, 2014 | This is Sacks' first book, and it shows. He still has to find his style. There are two problems with this book. The first one is a profusion of medical terminology (brachycardia, ptosis, myoclonus...). This is also a problem in Awakenings (his next book), but Awakenings doesn't suffer from the second problem: case histories instead of persons. In Awakenings and all later books, the person always shines through the case history. His other books are about how persons deal with (medical) afflictions, this book is about the migraine itself in the first place, and the persons who have the migraine are almost inconsequential. Only read this if you are very interested in migraine, or extremely interested in Oliver Sacks. (  ) wester | May 9, 2012 | inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
The many manifestations of migraine can vary dramatically from one patient to another, even within the same patient at different times. Among the most compelling and perplexing of these symptoms are the strange visual hallucinations and distortions of space, time, and body image which migraineurs sometimes experience. Portrayals of these uncanny states have found their way into many works of art, from the heavenly visions of Hildegard von Bingen to Alice in Wonderland. Dr. Oliver Sacks argues that migraine cannot be understood simply as an illness, but must be viewed as a complex condition with a unique role to play in each individual's life.
