Each year, 45 million Americans suffer migraine headaches painful enough to keep them home from work. This book is the first to deal with these headaches by looking at their underlying causes: the complex system of menstrual and other hormones that regulate the body. The authors cover the latest drug and non-drug therapies. Illustrations.
There is truth to the old saying "you can learn something new everyday". This book was packed full of information that even I, a migraine sufferer of over 25 years didn't know.
A New Lease on Life!

I strongly urge you to purchase this book if you are tired of battling and suffering with headaches. After struggling in a rural area for over a decade trying to find someone or something to help me with my incapacitating "menstrual cycle migraines" (2x per month), this book did it! Thank you Dr. Diamond and the Stills! I have a new lease on life. I estimated that over the past decade I have literally lost over a year of my life to pain and suffering with headaches. My husband and I are ecstatic that this book helped me, help my physician find a drug that aborts my migraines and I am 3 for 3. It validated my awful experiences and helped me realize how much the migraines were consuming my life and my attitude. It is excellently written and an easy read. It addresses many different types of headaches affecting many different types of people, male, female, young and old. Plus, it explains the many different treatment options available. Buy this book for yourself or someone you love; it's a cheap way to get more out of life.

If you can only afford one book on headache causes, treatment and prevention--this is the book to purchase. If you suffer from more than one type of headache, can't seem to get real relief, and are in dispair from the headache pain you suffer, this book is a MUST BUY for YOU! You will reread this book often. This is the best collection of information on headache causes, prevention and treatment methods that I have ever read. This book deals, in depth, with hormonal (especially female) causes of headaches. This book helps the headache suffer to feel self-empowered to help in prevention and reduction of pain in conjunction with treatment offered by their physician.
