Migraineurs – You are in famous company!
March 9th, 2008
In the Chicago Sun-Times this morning, a list of presidential letters which will be auctioned by Sotheby’s next month includes: 
• • Thomas Jefferson reporting on his debilitating monthlong migraine headache and George
Washington’s failing health.
Sometimes it just helps me to remember that people have suffered from this disease throughout history – and some of them achieved amazing things nonetheless – and with none of the treatment options we have – still it couldn’t have hurt to have lots of money, and slaves. How much harder it must have been to be a working-class, or enslaved, migraineur. (Hmm, maybe things aren’t so different now after all.)
