review 1: It took me a long time to read this book because (a) it has a lot of good information that I wanted to be able to digest and consider, and (b) I couldn't read it if I had a headache or was on the verge of one. As someone who has suffered from migraines off and on for more than 20 years, I have seen my share of doctors and heard all kinds of theories regarding causes/prevention/treatment. Still, Dr. Berstein's description makes the most sense to me: our "migraine brains" are very sensitive, and when a sufferer is exposed to certain triggers, it disrupts the brain's normal activity and sets the migraine into motion. Essentially, from what I remember. Is that right? Anyway, I learned a lot of good and useful information, including a possibly life-threatening drug interaction ... morebetween two of the prescriptions I am taking (which had not been discussed by my physician). A must-read for anyone still suffering from migraines.
review 2: Excellent book. The author, an MD who specializes in migraines, knows her stuff. I loved how easy-to-read and full of practical advice this book was. It clears up many myths (that migraines are a type of headache--migraines are actually a neurological disease with headaches being one of the symptoms, that chocolate and red wine cause migraines, etc..) and offered clear strategies on how to minimize the frequency and pain of migraines. I loved this book! less
