Headache cure

After suffering with migraine headaches since I was in my late teens, I gave up all hope that a fix can be found for them. I've been to many doctors but without a clear understanding of chronic headache I was not motivated to stick with my treatment (I was not confident that anything would have help) "The Headache Soucebook" has given me a new-found confidence that I know exactly what I'm dealing with! Now...I can understand what my doctor means by "prophylactic" and "abortive" treatments! Now I am motivated to stick with taking a pill everyday. Now I am committed to treating these demoralizing headaches. I highly recommend this book. It is well written in clear language with the average person in mind. Everyone can learn from the very practical tips Dr. Paulino and PA Griffith lays out in these pages. Their experience with treating headaches shows. This book is a must-buy for the headache sufferer, his/her family, and friends. I'll be sharing this book with my internal medicine doc!
