Across America, twenty-eight million people suffer from migraines, costing the nation millions of dollars in lost work and school days, medication, and countless visits to doctors and hospitals.

At last, the resources of that institution are available in a book.

This book includes:

  • The most up-to-date research on the cause of migraine, including if and how it will affect treatment
  • How to identify the danger signs of migraine
  • Identifying and treating migraine when it is linked to depression
  • Why more than 70 percent of migraine sufferers are women and what their particular circumstances mean for treatment
  • How the miracle drugs of the twenty-first century can stop your migraine attack
  • The latest in non-drug and self-help treatments, including relaxation therapy, biofeedback, and preventative therapies

4.0 out of 5 stars Helped answer some questions, February 11, 2007
This review is from: Conquering Your Migraine: The Essential Guide to Understanding and Treating Migraines for all Sufferers and Their Families (Paperback)
I suffer from cronic migraines. I have been seeing my doctor, but havn't been getting the answeres I've needed. This book helped me understand what was going on, what to look for, and even gave me ideas on what to do differently. It also gave me ideas of what i'm going to mention during my next visit to my doctor. My mother also suffers from migraines, and I have a few friends and do also. I have had no problem inviting them to read my book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book about migraines from an expert (but book from 2001), October 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Conquering Your Migraine: The Essential Guide to Understanding and Treating Migraines for all Sufferers and Their Families (Paperback)
The book gives an excellent overview over the various forms of migraines, their typical symptoms, how to avoid them, how to abort them, and how to treat them both with medication, alternatives, and relaxation exercises. Excellent book. All the medications I heard about are discussed in the book (and many more), so the book seems to be pretty up to date despite being from 2001.
