I learned more from this book than from my doctor. I would like to see a more updated version published.
Second reading. Lots of things I'd forgotten, lots of things to relearn.
I read this book on the recommendation of a specialist I had a migraine consult with. The book unfortunately didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know as a current migraine sufferer. this book might be helpful to someone who is new to migraining, or the parent of a child who has begun migrating.
I was hoping for a miracle and I got was a book in the archives of my Kindle App.

Adam heard this author interviewed on NPR and recommended it to me since I'm a migraineur. It's written by a Harvard MD who founded a migraine clinic and is a migraineur herself. I liked that she was straightforward about what's known and unknown about migraines. And she didn't offer a silver bullet which was refreshing. Informative and helpful. I'd recommend it to anyone who suffers with migraines.

This book was an important read for me. I've suffered migraines for over 10 years and even now while reading this book I realize I was still gaslighting myself into thinking some of my symptoms were not real or not intense.
I gave this four stars mainly because this book is packed full of useful information for those who suffer with migraines. It is not well written, and sometimes boring to read (I skimmed several parts that didn't apply to me), but it is helpful nonetheless. If you get migraines often, I highly recommend you read this book, or at very least skim through it to see if there is any information that is helpful to you.
On a side note, acupuncture is spoken of in this book a few times, and Dr. Bernstein makes mention how it has helped several of her patients. After doing further research and discovering it's success rate, I decided to try acupuncture to see if it worked for me. I'm happy to say that after two months of twice weekly treatments, my migraines happen far less often, are less painful, and much easier to get rid of with medication. I continue to improve and hope that in the near future I am completely free of migraine pain.

Wonderful!
Extremely well thought out. Even if like me you thought you'd heard of every medical intervention ever, the book covers so many wonderful common sense once you actually think about them ways to keep your hyper sensitive migraine brain happy.
