Understanding Your Migraines

This book is for patients, but alas I cannot think of a clinician or health care professional doing headache neurology who would not benefit from reading it and having it on hand or in a pocket. Bookstores have a scarcity of good patient books, and this one should be popular and retain its education value for years... So I would recommend it and say take it with you to your doctor, and if you are a headache doctor then take it with you to your office. * R. Allan Purdy MD, FAHS, Headache *
Finally, a book that takes years of clinical experience and decades of scientific discoveries and boils them down into simple, easy-to-understand language, giving patients insight they can use to manage their headaches successfully. Understanding Your Migraines gives hope to the most challenging-to-treat headache sufferers. * Rami Burstein, PhD, John Hedley-Whyte Professor of Anaesthesia and Neuroscience, Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center *
This book is useful in that it reinforces what we clinicians tell our patients but also provides education on topics that may not have not been broached during the visit. * Lawrence C. Newman, MD, Director, The Headache Institute, Mount Sinai St. Luke's *
Migraine is a common, disabling, and often misunderstood disease. For those contending with migraine, it is a challenge to find current and reliable information on what migraine is, and what it isn't, and what measures will bring it under control. Understanding Your Migraines now provides welcome and authoritative guidance from two renowned migraine doctors and researchers. * Robert E. Shapiro, MD, PhD, Professor of Neurological Sciences, Larner College of Medicine, University of Vermont *
