Caffeine Withdrawal: A Model for Migraine?

reflected in your external appearance, the basis by which we talk about race, the answer seems to be in the range of .01%.” In spite of tired racist comments to the contrary, there are far more differences between migraineurs and nonmigraineurs than there are between people of different races. The differences between races, aside from melanin in the skin, would appear to involve minor orthopedic and muscular features. According to the majority of writers and researchers, there are no significant differences in intelligence, organ systems, or cerebral neurons. Blacks are not more hypersensitive to visual stimuli, nor do they suffer more or less migraine. (Asians may or may not suffer more migraine, an issue which is yet to be settled.) The calcium channels of American minorities appear to be similar, as far as we know. It’s ironic, then, that the physical characteristics of being, say, white versus Asian, which are superficial and immediately apparent have been given so much importance. In fact, if one insists on being a bigot, he or she should attack migraineurs for all of our numerous and sundry differences from the norm. We’re an insidious presence in their midst, prone to mutually inconvenient attacks of disabling headache, unable to sit in the backseats of their cars, and likely to tell them to quit smoking. We offend them because we don’t wish to try their homemade wine, and we don’t care for their perfume or aftershave lotion. In short, it can be a nuisance to have us around, damn fluorescent light-hating Homo sapiens migrainosums. Granted, it’s probably not an issue of paramount importance whether or not migraineurs receive designation as a subspecies, but at least the argument in favor might enable the citizen migraineurs to regard his or her malady more realistically. Migraine is an inherent part of us who are afflicted—not an acquired personality defect. Whether to deny its existence save for the acute eruptions, to quail before it as a foreign intruder, or to wear its presence as a badge of shame, all involve a misperception of self that can result in a life of needlessly reduced quality. It explains why just about everything in life can be affected by the disease. In closing, perhaps it would probably be better for all if the migrainous subspecies amidst us mated only with other members of the subspecies. Certainly, there would be more empathy for the condition within the home. Unfortunately, this would require polygamy, or elsewise two thirds of migrainous women would remain single, searching in vain for another unattached male with recognized migraine.
