It's good they showed this, and helped to raise the issue, but I didn't think the description of migraine symptoms and what happens in the brain was anywhere near strong enough to explain what it's like to someone who has never had one. And just saying there are ways to treat it but not saying what they are or how to get them wasn't very helpful. Interesting that the only argument that seems likely to convince people there's actually a problem that needs attention is the economic one, rather than the terrible human suffering and impact on quality of life being the main issue.
