An open letter to the manufacturers of Migraleve.Dear Sirs, Madams, and Indeterminates,
Waking early one morning with what promised to be a nuclear-powered migraine, I dragged myself to the medicine cabinet and found in there a box of your pink and yellow pills. Assuming that their different colours meant they did different things, I looked for the instructions so that I knew what to take, and in what doseage.
I'm sure you're aware that one of the symptoms of migraine is distorted vision, and that another is sensitivity to light. This means that migraine sufferers spend as much time as possible during an attack with their eyes closed. Even during a mild attack, activities such as reading are rendered uncomfortable.
Given these facts, and given also that most people reading the instuctions on your product are likely to be suffering at least an incipient migraine, could you please explain to me why those instructions are printed in black against a grey background, and in tiny, tiny, tiny letters? Is this your idea of a joke?
If you're having difficulty reading this letter... yeah, well.
Yours sincerely,
(

Would it not be advisable to read the info on your medication before you get a migraine?(
