Headache Roams (Can you see Migraine in this ancient poem?)

This poem is from Babylonian tablets 3-4 thousand years old, but probably originates in more ancient Mesopotamian traditions.  It was believed that headache was a demon that had to be cast out…

Headache roams over the desert
Blowing like the wind
Flashing like lightning
It is loosed above and below.
Flashing like a heavenly star
It comes like the dew
It stands hostile against the wayfarer
Scorching him like the day.

It has struck him
And like one with heart disease, he staggers
Like one without reason he is broken
Like one thrown in the fire
He is shrivelled

Headache is like the dread windstorm
No one knows its course
No one knows its full time or its bond.

This is based on a translation by R. Campbell Thompson.  Do you see migraine symptoms here?  Aura?  Confusion?  Feeling feverish?  Doesn’t migraine feel like the hot, dry, dusty wind of a windstorm?  And even a mention of heart disease (now known to be related to migraine)!

Observant in those days, weren’t they?
