 Not tonight honey..I have a HEADACHE!, 2002-10-26
I am a Migraine sufferer! I not only get the painful headaches but I'm one of the lucky ones (20%) that gets the other wordly auras that go with it. The first time this happened I thought I was either having a stroke,going blind, or having a close encounter of Some kind. When I saw the cover of this book "Winning the fight of your life".."Fight off today's headache pain and PREVENT tommorrow's attack" I thought OKAY this is for me!.
Well although there is some useful information in this book, it really didn't help me too much.There was alot of charts and graphs concerning the history of migraine and the symptoms. I did learn the name of my particular one (Classic), It goes on to list many many remedies,drugs, herbs,methods of relaxation,acupuncture,(I draw the line at the one about standing on your head). What to do, what not to do, what to eat, what not to eat (in some cases these were the same things, very confusing),don't sleep too much, don't sleep too little, etc etc.
It would take me years of migraines to try all these different remedies and I would go broke doing it.
There was some useful information though, for instance, crushing medicine and taking it with a sweet warm drink will speed up the effect of the medicine. There was also a study in which 98% of the people with migraines got relief from spinal massages.This was all good advice(if I could just make sure there's someone around to give me the massage when I get the headache). There were other useful tips too, I would not completley write this book off.
This book is geared more toward a medical student learning to properly diagnose the type of headache. It would also helpful to have a medical dictionary at hand.
If you are interested in learning the FACTS about migraines in general this will be an interesting guide, but don't think of it as a cure.
Thanks......Laurie

 This book helped me to live a more normal life, 2000-03-30
Great book! It helped me to find out what kind of migraine I have and how to manage it the best way. Before that I was always afraid to make appointments, because "What if I get head-ache that day?" I've missed a lot of meetings (at work) and private programs. Now I can handle it quite well, I've learned a lot from dr. Theisler! It's a bit like "I've got my life back" ! Thanks!
