The origin of the name “Tomcat” is not exactly clear. One explanation is based on the proximity to the term “catarrh”. In popular terms, this refers to a symptom complex of headaches, malaise and a feeling of illness. The origins are also discussed in connection with the term “cat whine” as a miserable feeling after an intoxication. This reflects the painfully plaintive nocturnal whining of tomcats in heat. In the student language of Goethe's time, the term “Kotzen-Jammer” is used, which aptly addresses nausea, vomiting, feeling ill, headaches including remorse and self-reproach for consuming too much alcohol.
The migraine app documents the course of migraines and headaches with active data entry. It reports back aggregated information from the data set and thus supports patients and the attending physicians in monitoring progress and success as well as adjusting therapy. The migraine app contains extensive reporting, information and self-help tools.
