Sick Headache.


Migraine (megrim). hemicrania or
periodic sick headache and epilepsy
bear q close relation to each other.
Az many know. epilepsy may occur
In all degrees of severity. from the
mildest momentary feeting loss Of
consciousness (petit maD to the
most frightful series Of general con-
vulsions tstatus epilepticus) or wild
delirium (epileptic mania).
Alcoholism in either parent is a
predisposing cause OF neurosis among
offspring. the neurosis perhaps TAX
ing the form Of epilepsy in one in
stance or of migraine in another.
Indeed. competent students of nerv-
Gus disorders have called migrafne
the "sensory equivalent of the motor

have their periodicity, their recur.

onset, epilepsy usually beginning In
childhood. migraine seldom before

Now and then the migraine victim.

fore the eyes, has other visual hailu-
cinations. seeing figures OF humans
or animals. or has disturbances of
the other senses, such as one e-sided
deafness or ringing In the ear, loss
Of taste or peculiar lasts sensations.
Just as there are many cases of
epilepsy of the petit NAL type
(momentary loss of consciousness
without convulsive seizure), so there
are many cases of migraine without
the headache or with very little
headache following the aura, or per-
hans vertigo instead of headache,
Migraine is therefore more than
mere headache. 1t is quite different
from neuralgia. which Is pain of a
