Authored by a consultant neurologist who sees about a thousand headache patients a year and with 20 years of experience, this book is designed to help headache and migraine sufferers who have heard such statements as, "there is nothing else we can do to help you", "we have tried all possible medications", or "this is just stress-related". Advising on what can be done to alleviate and even prevent symptoms, this book provides the reader with a better understanding of headaches and a guide to their self-management. There are over 150 types of headache, and, once the doctor knows what type they are dealing with, they are a long way towards treating it successfully.
