Description:

You know that your migraine isn't just a headache. But you may not know that migraine actually is a neurological disease. Affecting one in five women, one in twenty men, and one in twenty children, it's a debilitating, complex, and chronic condition that manifests in a combination of symptoms that can include excruciating head pain as well as other distinctive physical and emotional effects. Yet it's also a disease that you can get control of, improve, and manage, as Dr. Carolyn Bernstein has discovered in her seventeen years as a Harvard Medical School faculty member and practicing neurologist.

Praised for her excellence and compassion, the founder of the Women's Headache Center near Boston, and a migraine sufferer herself, Dr. Bernstein has helped hundreds of her patients get better. Now, with The Migraine Brain, the most comprehensive, up-to-the-minute book on migraines ever written, you will be able to do the same -- reduce the frequency and intensity of your migraines, learn how to prevent and curtail them and how to recover from them more quickly, and mitigate migraine's effects on every aspect of your life: in the workplace and at home and during sex and travel. Every migraine is different because everyone who gets a migraine has a distinctive "Migraine Brain" with its own sensitivities and triggers. That's why it's so important for you to develop a personalized wellness plan to radically reduce the number and severity of your migraines.

Dr. Bernstein also explains why migraines happen, why they are so often misdiagnosed, and why so few people get the right treatment for them. She reveals the latest research that shows that Migraine Brains share a hypersensitivity to stimuli -- the Migraine Brain can actually look different from others on a brain scan -- and is more likely to experience a cascade of neurological reactions that give rise to the common clusters of migraine symptoms. This breakthrough medical knowledge makes treatment and recovery possible with new migraine-specific drugs as well as with complementary treatments such as yoga, biofeedback, and an exercise regimen.

With the extraordinarily thorough recommendations of The Migraine Brain in your hands, you will be fully equipped with all the latest information you need to understand migraines and to help your family and co-workers understand that migraine isn't just a headache: it's a serious, yet treatable disease.

5Having all your problems validated in reference to migraines  May 31, 2009
This book helped so much. It was wonderful to read all the things that I thought were just my issues and to learn that they are normal and most migraine sufferers experience some of the effects if not all.
Her writing is clear and concise and easy to read. Her suggestions are easy to follow.

5Most Helpful Book!  May 13, 2009
This book has been the most thorough and helpful book about migraines that I have read. I have been having migraines for over 20 years and have finally begun to understand the process and find a way to methodically try things to get relief. I bought a copy for myself and for my Nurse Practitioner. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who suffers from Migraines, it is worth the read!

5Excellent book for Migraine Sufferers  Mar 13, 2009
This is truly the most comprehensive book about migraines I have ever seen. Finally, a doctor who dispels the myth that migraine is a type of headache. It is not! "Migraine is a complex neurological disease that affects your central nervous system", the author states, and headache is just one of its many symptoms. Dr. Bernstein not only gives excellent, detailed information about migraines and the various treatments available, but also gives the reader straight-forward recommendations on how to reduce the frequency & intensity of migraines, how to prevent them, and how to recover from them more quickly. Since everyone who suffers from migraines has a distinctive "migraine brain", She provides step-by-step guidelines for developing your own personal wellness plan. In the appendix, she provides excellent forms to use for this purpose. I can't say enough good things about this book! I took it with me to my last doctor's appointment and she was so impressed, she immediately ordered her own copy. If you or someone you love suffers from migraines, I know you will benefit from reading this book.

5Excellent Book!  Feb 10, 2009
I work as a Biofeedback Therapist at Tampa General Hospital's Headache Clinic. A patient showed me this book, and gave an excellent review. I have purchased it,read it, and it is excellent. It is all that we teach our patients, in a concise and intelligent manner. Easy to read and understand. No crazy theories! I have already given it away to another headache sufferer. I would recommend this book to all that have migraine.

5Migraine Help  Jan 22, 2009
This book gives great insight as to the causes, effects, and ways to avoid the crippling onset of migraines. A real eye-opener for those who suffer this problem.
