The Best headache text yet!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Headaches (Hardcover)
As a Physical Therapist specializing in Orthopaedics, I have treated headaches for 11 years. Raskin has created the most thorough yet understandable resource for diagnosis I've seen.He describes what to look for during evaluation in order to differenciate between types of headaches. He makes the subject understandable without watering down the complexity of the problem.

Tough reading for a non-M.D., but EXTREMELY enlightening,
By A Customer
This review is from: Headaches (Hardcover)
This book was "prescribed" for me by my current
neurologist during my first appointment. It's
the hardest book I ever read all the way through. (My Ph.D. is in Computer Science.)
I had a dictionary at my side the whole time.
HOWEVER, I learned a whole lot more than I knew from 20 years of treatment for migraines: Varieties and mechanisms of headaches; Superstitions
I'd picked up that weren't true; An immense variety of treatments, each of which is successful for some patients. Most treatments are not known to
most doctors. E.g., Ergonovine Maleate, with
which I have had good success, although only one pharmacy in my area will compound it.
This is the book for serious sufferers of headache who are willing to learn more than their doctor probably knows, and then collaborate on their own treatment. Too bad it's out of print.
WHERE'S THAT THIRD EDITION???
