A conversation with Kathleen J. O’Shea, a migraine patient and the author of So Much More than A Headache

Kathleen J. O’Shea, Professor of English at Monroe Community College (Rochester, N.Y.) is a 44-year migraine sufferer, has taken her passion for literature and her chronic illness to create So Much More than A Headache: Understanding Migraine through Literature. Kathy has transitioned from being a migraine patient to one who wants to combine her life experience and her professional expertise to help migraine sufferers understand they are not alone, and for those who are fortunate not to suffer from this condition, to become more empathetic and understanding of those who do.
