5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for any Migraine Sufferer, November 6, 2006

By	Kate "aqueous kate" (Indianapolis, IN USA) - See all my reviews

I have had a constant migraine for almost 5 years now, and I found this book to be very helpful. It helps you find and teaches you about your diagnosis. In addition, it teaches you how to identify migraine triggers and how to avoid them, and how to better take care of yourself. It also teaches you how to better communicate with your doctor. Even though I knew many of the facts in the book, I found it helpful in putting all of the information in one place, breaking down the information, and expanding on what I already knew.

5.0 out of 5 stars Success - short, simple and logical!, February 4, 2009

By	Janet E. (Wexford, PA) - See all my reviews

My daughter has been suffering from headaches for years. She has been to all the doctors and had all the tests. It wasn't until I read this book and followed the simple advice of keeping a headache diary that I was able to recognize a pattern to her headaches. We can now predict the headaches and offer her some relief. I highly recommed this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-balanced information, April 9, 2008

By	College-Selection-Crazed Mom (Pittsburgh, PA United States) - See all my reviews

When my teenage daughter started experiencing bouts of dizziness and headaches, I took her to a hearing and balance doctor since I presumed her symptoms pointed in that direction. After thorough testing, however, it was concluded that the likely cause of her issues was migraine. That's when I started researching the topic and found Dr. Marcus' book. I'd highly recommend it for anyone who wants a good overview of the issues related to migraine, as well the ways to distinguish it from other forms of headache, and some straight-forward approaches to avoiding these headaches to begin with. I really like how the author included a good bit of background information (research stats, medical terms, etc) but still made it easy for the non-physician to understand.
