A practical guide to living with and managing migraine

Migraine is presented here as a condition that can shape daily routines, family life, and conversations with healthcare providers. The guide organizes its discussion around communicating with a medical team, approaches beyond medication, and emerging options for reducing symptoms. It also addresses circumstances that may call for particular consideration, including migraine during pregnancy and in children and adolescents. Patient cases are used to ground a range of headache-related concerns in concrete situations, while sections on online and community resources extend the book beyond the clinical appointment. The emphasis is on helping patients and families navigate questions, options, and support around migraine care.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People living with migraine who want guidance for discussing care with a medical team
  • Family members seeking to understand migraine's impact and available support

Twelve percent of the world's population is affected by migraines, tallying up to more than 35 million people in the US alone. The World Health Organization lists it among the top ten most disabling conditions. But even with those numbers, why are we still plagued with this disorder and what can we do, in our daily lives, to manage this devastating and demoralizing brain illness?

Understanding Your Migraines: A Guide for Patients and Families addresses, in clear prose:
- The impact migraines can have on your life, and your family's;
- How to communicate and work with your medical team to make sure nothing is overlooked in your quest to conquer your migraines;
- Non-medicinal and new experimental ways to reduce migraine symptoms;
- The special and important cases of dealing with migraine during pregnancy, in children, and in adolescents;
- How you can find online and community resources for learning more.

Understanding Your Migraine: A Guide for Patients and Families brings together the expertise of two eminent headache neurologists, Dr. Morris Levin and Dr. Thomas Ward, who have each been caring for headache patients for more than 35 years. Peppered with patient cases to show how to successfully deal with a variety of headache issues, the authors address common concerns in an easy-to-read and comprehensive manner, making this a must-have on every bedside table.
