I am an otolaryngologist (aka ENT doctor) who sees a lot of patients with “sinus headache”, most of whom have migraines. Although this book is presumably written for the lay person, and does a nice job for that audience, I have highly recommended this book to many doctors in training, and for physicians who see migraine patients, but may not have a lot of personal experience or professional experience with treating migraines. Its very readable, concise, and practical. I’m going to buy a couple of copies for my students to use while they are working with me!

This is an excellent book for anyone that suffers from chronic headaches. It will help you identify the different types of headache as well as how the headaches occur in the brain. He explains the different medications that are out there and how they work. There are also some natural remedies, such as magnesium and B2. It is written in an easy to understand format for the general public, so you won’t have to be a doctor to understand this book. If you’re having lots of headaches, definitely read this book.
