Alice in Wonder Land, an imaginative literary piece written by Lewis Carroll takes the reader to a different world. Alice experiences a lot of strange feelings- abnormal tallness or shortness or change in her own body parts giving the readers a different experience about the world Alice is in. This gives us an insight into the author's perception of time and feelings he experienced while writing it down. Lewis Carroll is known to have suffered from migraine and the hallucinations he suffered had given us the most imaginative and interesting book.
Migraine

Migraine attacks are reported by many patients as headaches and many are unable to differentiate it from other headaches.

However, a migraine headache is a special type of headache. Classically, the single most characteristic feature of migraine is episodic headache associated with accompanying symptoms like vomiting, blurring of vision etc. Episodic headaches means that they can occur anywhere from once or twice a year to 1-4 times a month but in between, there are prolonged pain free intervals. However, occasionally some patients may get headaches more frequently, almost daily. The headache is usually felt on the one part of the head.
