The Migraine Handbook - Jenny Lewis
| At least one in ten people
suffers from migraine. It is not simply a problem affecting women, but
also young children, and approximately a third of sufferers are men.
This text looks at the mystery and social stigma of migraine from various
perspectives, details its symptoms, and addresses the question of whether
it is hereditary. The book discusses in relation to migraine: how it
relates to hormone levels; age; factors such as noise; light; certain
types of dairy foods; caffeine-rich foods and food additives; overwork
and excessive exercise; all of which are common triggers for migraine.
With advice from scores of sufferers and details of what to avoid, this
text also looks at how to cope with attacks. Treatment is examined,
such as acupuncture, yoga, and homeopathy, in this updated edition.
