Book description
At least one in ten people suffer from migraine. It is not simply a
problem affecting women but also young children and a good third of
sufferers are men. The Migraine Handbook looks at the mystery and soci
al stigma of migraine from all perspectives, details its symptoms and
addresses the questions of whether it is hereditary, how it relates to
hormone levels, age and factors such as noise, light, certain types of
dairy foods, caffine-rich foods and food additives, overwork and
excessive exercise, all of which are common triggers. The book is full
of grapevine advice from scores of sufferers and details of what to
avoid and how to cope with attacks. It also provides an in-depth look at
treatments such as acupuncture, yoga and homeopathy. Now fully updated
to include the latest drugs available to migraine sufferers, this new
edition of The Migraine Handbook points the way forward for doctors and
suferers alike and helps them to come to terms with, and conquer,
migraine.
