Out Of My Head

synopsis

There are few things more frightening than having a child who is sick, who you don’t know how to help and whose illness you don’t understand. That’s what Susanna Styron experienced when her daughter Emma’s spells of blindness and vomiting began at the age of fourteen. Emma’s eventual migraine diagnosis, rather than putting an end to the mystery and confusion, was just the beginning, as mother and daughter embarked on a years-long journey to discover the truth about living with migraine.

fan quotes:

"Pain’s a very distributed system. It’s not localized to one spot that you could zap if you needed to; or give one medication that would, like a heat-seeking missile, go to that area and turn it off."
-Dr. Alyssa Lebel, Director, Chronic Headache Program, Boston Children’s Hospital

"The emotional component of pain cannot really be separated from pain intensity,because it’s all part of how our brain circuit puts things together."
– Dr. David Borsook, Director, Center for Pain and the Brain, Mass. General Hospital
