Throughout the history of medicine, quantifying pain has been an issue. How do we explain "how much" pain we're experiencing in a way that's universally understood? As headache and Migraine patients we can absolutely relate. Jackson explores pain as the "Fifth Vital Sign," as measurable as temperature, blood pressure, heart beat, and respiration.

The generally long periods of time between my Migraines are the result of working with a Migraine specialist to refine my preventive regimen. You can see my current regimen HERE.

Hi there,

I was hesistant to read this book I think because the title turned me off. Having said that I am really glad I read it. Not that I need to read about pain, but it kind of reinforced everything for me. Anything, anytime telling me I am not nuts is a good thing in my book.
