The Migraine Handbook by British Migraine Association

At least one in ten people suffers from migraine. It is not simply a problem affecting women but also young children and a good third of sufferers are men. This book looks at the mystery and social stigma of migraine from all perspectives, details its symptoms and addresses the question of whether it is hereditary, how it relates to hormone levels, age and factors such as noise, light, certain types of dairy foods, caffeine-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 what to avoid and how to cope with attacks. It provides an in-depth look at treatments such as acupuncture, yoga and homeopathy. A chapter on the latest research findings points the way forward for sufferers and doctors alike and helps them come to terms with, and conquer, migraine.
