Dear Chris

All sorts of head pains might have prompted attendance at shrines which had
pieces of saintly skull (or the whole thing) (e.g. St Thomas at Canterbury) or
supposedly therapeutic headgear (e.g. Thomas of Lancaster's hat at Leicester?).
But would migraine sufferers think in terms of head pain or eye pain?; not being
one of the unfortunate but knowing how debilitating such episodes can be, I'd
be interested in your opinion, and that of other list members.

Season's greetings, everyone!

Graham Jones
