Migraine Auras: When the Visual World Fails

by Richard Grossinger, Klaus Podoll (Preface), Markus Dahlem (Preface)

Migraine headaches are familiar and generally treatable ailments. Less understood are migraine auras or scotoma, visual distortions—sometimes accompanied by headache and sometimes not—that make it difficult, sometimes impossible, to see clearly. Migraine auras can be frightening, disorienting, even incapacitating. Richard Grossinger, who has suffered from them himself, here presents a helpful guide to the subject that maps the terrain, describes the various forms migraine auras can take, charts his personal experiences with them, and offers informed suggestions for homeopathic and other treatments.

If you suffer from migraines you need to read this book.
Richard is quite brilliant in his ability to research, learn, synthesize and present on almost any topic and this was no exception.

It was interesting I'll give it that. However I have persistent migraine auras and his insistence migraine auras are nothing of consequence was a bit off the mark for me. Part of the book was interesting but I was looking for a lot more depth to answer some specific questions I have. That is not to say it is a bad book because it is work exploring. Worth the read. He has a good style as well.

Don't read this book if you want to know anything about migraine. It's not full of facts or relatable stories.
