Migraine is a disabling, and painful disorder that affects over 36 million Americans. Nevertheless, it is frequently dismissed, ignored, and delegitimized. The author argues that this general dismissal of migraine can be traced back to the gendered social values embedded in the way we talk about, understand, and make policies for people in pain.
