Do you have the ache?

Loads of us suffer from migraine and other headache disorder--but why?

Brandy's Musings

I am a migraine sufferer. I get two different kinds of migraines, and they both suck, and one gives me mild hallucinations and aura. The other just makes me want to bore a hole in my head to relieve pressure. I bet most of you have had headaches. I bet a few of you have had THESE type of headaches. And the weird thing is, not only are we not sure why they happen, we aren't even quite sure why some things work to alleviate them. BRAIN IS WEIRD! Basically our motto. Join us on Aug 13 to talk about it--and please read this amazing book. We have it for sale on our bookshop.org page for this season (links below at bottom). Until then!

AND NOW: for a show that will have you rethinking the pain in the head.

Show Deets: The Headache

​

What if one of the world's most common neurological disorders was also one of its least understood? Migraines. Cluster headaches. Disorders so devastating they can completely derail a life—yet they're often dismissed as 'just a headache.' In The Headache, science journalist Tom Zeller explores why medicine still has so few answers—and what new discoveries are beginning to reveal. Drawing from his own decades-long battle with cluster headaches, Zeller travels from cutting-edge clinics to clinical trials—and even explores experimental treatments—in search of relief. Join Peculiar Book Club for a fascinating conversation about pain, neuroscience, resilience, and why this hidden illness deserves to be taken seriously. LINK BELOW:
