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 It's a good book even though some of the information regarding the medical treatment available is outdated given the book's age by now.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.

Informative, but boring.
