Book Description

The Headache Detective is a headache management workbook designed for helping young children and teenagers fight the battle against recurring headaches. The creation of The Headache Detective started when a loving father looked for a better way to manage his son’s migraine headaches. Over the course of a year, the son’s headaches started to take over the family and were creating issues at school and at the workplace. The increased frequency and random headache patterns were putting a strain on the whole family.

From the Publisher

The Headache Detective was written by a loving father of a headache sensitive child who himself had dealt with migraine headaches most of his childhood. After finding out there was very little doctor’s could do for his son’s headaches, John started to use his personal experiences with migraines to identify the fastest ways to help his son. After months of trial and error, John developed an easy to use method of moderating his son’s lifestyle and diet that dramatically reduced his son’s headaches. This father’s devotion to his son helped him develop a proactive approach designed from a parent and child’s viewpoint to manage childhood headaches. If your child is 5 or 15, this workbook will help them lead a more normal life with less pain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful For My Two Daughters, June 19, 2006

This review is from: The Headache Detective: Mom, My Head Hurts (Spiral-bound)

A friend of mine gave me a copy of this workbook because he knew my daughters were getting frequent migraine headaches. This book was so easy to use and understand. It seemed like it was written for me. My daughters really liked to use the color poster and the food deck as a reminder of foods they should limit portion sizes or avoid altogether. My youngest daughter still gets a headache from time to time but they frequency and level of pain of her existing headaches has decreased greatly. She is doing well in school and I can't say enough about how this book has helped both my daughters. I recommend it to everyone I come across who is helping their child cope with childhood headaches.
