Headaches are hard

One of the things I realized in researching headaches…is that they’re really bloody complicated. Many specific types are associated with particular nerves that travel across hemispheres (usually front to back). But it would be impractical to visualize every nerve and impossible for someone using a smartphone browser, so it’s really tricky trying to balance quality of data with usability and my backend headaches. And since this is supposed to help let patients print out useful symptom diaries to take to their doctors, quality of information and easy understandability are critical. Especially since doctors tend to be terrible at actually listening.

Also, I keep hand wringing on the stage direction/audience direction business on the front-back views.
