YouTube Clip of the Week: Mayo Clinic “Migraine & Aura”

by Rena Sherwood

Mayo Clinic isn’t the name of a band, but this is actually a video put together by the Mayo Clinic (named after a family of doctors with the surname of Mayo, not after the popular white condiment). I’m glad to see that they have their own channel on YouTube. Actually, they’ve had a YouTube channel scince 2006 but ding-dong me didn’t discover it until this afternoon.

This video has a good description of what a migraine is like, especailly about any amount of light being incredibly painful. There is also a good animation which is close to what I’ve seen in some of my auras. It’s also just over two minutes long, so you can watch the whole thing without dozing off.

Just a couple of warnings — the sound dips up and down in this little video. Also, the migraineur interviewed in this video was taking botox injections as part of her migraine treatment. Botox injections are controversial treatment which I personally frown upon — but then again, I’m not a doctor. You do what you have to when you have a migraine.

Enjoy.
