Migraines

I read somewhere that Oliver Sachs believes H's visions as she describes them are exactly symptomatic of migraines. Was this possibility left out of the article for a reason? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CuriouslyAlberta (talk • contribs) 11:43, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

I've had migraines and they're definitely not visions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.119.151.233 (talk) 08:51, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

I've read that speculation as well. It is not the migraines themselves, but the Aura which is relevant here. https://www.webmd.com/migraines-headaches/what-is-a-migraine-with-aura#1

Note: as can be seen from that article, only a quarter or so of migraine sufferers have aura - migraines are probably several different phenomenons altogether. 109.56.119.115 (talk) 11:23, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

This is pretty well attested though: I'm surprised it's not even mentioned? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4103393/ 90.252.11.23 (talk) 09:17, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
