Synopsis
If you get migraines you know how laughable it is to hear them described as "headaches." As one poet put it, "the migraine is a beast from Hell, a bone-crushing, brain-twisting, heart-rending, apocalyptic scourge--an insult to all that's holy." And that's putting it mildly. People have been trying to tame the migraine beast for thousands of years. Some early healers bored holes into their patients' skulls, the Greeks inhaled the smoke of burning coffee beans, while in ancient Egypt, doctors tied herb-stuffed clay crocodiles to migraine sufferer's heads. Fortunately, we live in more enlightened times and there are now medically sound approaches that are relatively simple and inexpensive--and they don't leave scars or involve extreme fashion statements. Your complete guide to taking charge of your migraines and getting your life back, Migraines For Dummies offers a focused, fleshed-out program that works in the real world. This friendly guide fills you in on what you need to know to: Understand migraines and why you get them Relieve symptoms Pinpoint pain triggers Sort through the various medications Evaluate alternative remedies Make simple migraine-busting lifestyle changes Stop migraines from disrupting your family and work lives Find a good doctor to help you manage the beast The authors look at the whole spectrum of the problem--from dealing with the number-one issue of pain relief, to handling the peripheral problems like absences from work skepticism from friends, and impact on family. They also explore a range of critical related issues, including: Different types of migraines, including abdominal, ocular, hemiplegic, opthamoplegic, and women's hormonal migraines Triggers, such as environmental allergens, stress, dietary triggers, and even exercises that can cause migraines Over-the-counter medications, vitamins and herbal supplements Biofeedback, meditation, massage, acupuncture, and other alternative remedies The pros and cons of prescription remedies, including ergotamine derivatives, antidepressants, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, botox and more You've tried Aunt Edna's camphor-soaked head cloths. Now explore a sensible, medically sound approach, and get on the road to full-fledged pain relief with Migraines For Dummies ., Relieve symptoms and pinpoint your pain triggers Take charge of your headaches and get your life back! You can get rid of the pain! This no-nonsense guide debunks migraine myths and gets you on the road to full-fledged pain relief. You'll discover how to find a good doctor, sort through the various medicines, make positive changes in your lifestyle, and prevent your headaches from disrupting your work and family life. Praise for Migraines For Dummies "Migraines For Dummies is a practical guide full of useful information for the migraine sufferer, presented in an easy-to-read and entertaining format." Jennifer L. Wright, MD "Migraines For Dummies provides insightful, practical, and helpful tips for dealing with the mother of all headaches: the migraine. This highly comprehensive book arms readers with the facts they need to make the transition from pain-challenged to migraine-empowered, in as simple a leap as possible." E. Fred Aguilar, MD, If you get migraines you know how laughable it is to hear them described as headaches. As one poet put it, the migraine is a beast from Hell, a bone-crushing, brain-twisting, heart-rending, apocalyptic scourge an insult to all that s holy. And that s putting it mildly.
