His mother was also a migraine sufferer</p> <p>Nelson spoke a little bit about what it feels like to have a migraine, and how athleticism and size are no guarantees for good health:</p> <blockquote>Some people get injuries and some people's bodies react in different ways. From the outside looking in some players' afflictions look really small. But you won't know unless you've had migraines yourself, especially the way I get them. They are unreal.

<p>The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prefers to approve drugs with a proven, clinically relevant endpoint (eg, prevention of stroke), but also considers surrogate endpoints (eg, reduction in blood pressure). This approach can be a double-edged sword. Although it might accelerate the approval of new treatment options for life-threatening illnesses, because of the uncertainty around clinical benefits, drugs could turn out to be ineffective or harmful to patients. Follow-up is crucial to ascertain whether a drug is actually clinically beneficial. But, according to a new report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the FDA is failing to properly oversee postmarketing studies of drugs approved on the basis of surrogate endpoints.</p>
