Migrän : förebygg anfall, minska symptom och lev som vanligt

Rate this book
Migrän är mycket mer än vanlig huvudvärk. Migrän är en behandlingsbar sjukdom som miljoner människor runtom i världen lider av.

Länge ansågs migrän bara vara en stressreaktion. Idag har vi mer kunskap om vad det egentligen är, om vilka som drabbas och hur man kan förebygga och behandla migrän.
Människor som lider av migrän möts ofta av oförståelse från omgivningen. Många vet inte vad sjukdomen innebär utan tror att det bara handlar om "vanlig" huvudvärk. Om du känner till orsakerna till migrän, kan du dela med dig av dina kunskaper och hjälpa andra människor att få förståelse för din sjukdom.
I den här boken finns information om olika metoder och behandlingar för att förebygga migrän och lindra anfallen.
För att lyckas med behandlingen krävs ofta att man, förutom medicinering, förändrar sin livsstil till exempel när det gäller kost- och motionsvanor. Den här handboken innehåller därför, förutom svar på de flesta frågor man kan ha om migrän, även en mängd kostråd.

Carol A. Foster är neurolog, specialiserad på migrän. Hon är grundare av Valley Neurological Headache and Reserarch Center i Phoenix, Arizona.

I wasn’t a fan of the Q & A format, and some of the information was repetitive, but I do think I gained better understanding of migraine and how to deal with it.

A straightforward, no nonsense guide that still provided a lot of good info for someone like me who suffers from chronic migraines. The fact I got not one but TWO migraines during the brief span of time I was reading this book was both ironic and yet not funny at ALL. It's a good book even though some of the information regarding the medical treatment available is outdated given the book's age by now. Still, it helped a lot with its frequent tips, tricks, and reminders of how to do as much as you can to keep a migraine in check before it ruins your day.

While I found the Q & A setup of this book annoying to read from cover to cover, the information was incredibly helpful as a migraine sufferer. Between this one and another one I've read, I feel much more likely to prevent migraines.

Cheesy format, but up-to-date, accessible information makes this a must read for chronic migraine sufferers. It had helped me to start developing what I hope will soon be an effective treatment plan. I have very little faith in the low-tyramine diet however.

A simple quick read book about migraines. A Q&A format. It gets too simplistic near the end of the book though I do appreciate the new knowledge I've gained regarding the different stages of migraines: The Prodrome Phase, The Aura Phase, The Headache Phase and The Postdrome Phase.

I learned a lot about migraine and headaches in general from this book. I would recommend it to anyone who even thinks that they might be having migraine headaches.
