Dear Reader,
Migraines hurt. Not just physically, but emotionally, socially, and even financially. Left untreated or improperly treated, this debilitating neurological condition diminishes overall quality of life. Fortunately, there are many treatment options available to stop migraine pain and even prevent migraine attacks. But a huge proportion of migraineurs remain undiagnosed or untreated simply because they don't have the knowledge they need to seek help.
As a person who has dealt with debilitating migraines since childhood, I know just how frustrating misperceptions of a migraine as just a headache can be. Even getting an accurate diagnosis can be a challenge; the public perception of head pain can cause us to downplay the condition for many years, and not all physicians have sufficient skills and experience in headache medicine.
And as a medical writer and editor and a patient advocate, I have discovered that empowering people with timely, accurate, and easy-to-understand information about their health is the best way to motivate them toward better care. An informed patient knows what questions to ask, work s with her doctor to set and achieve treatment goals, and doesn't settle for less when it comes to her health.
Remember you alone have the power, and the responsibility, to manage your own health. I hope you will find this book a useful reference in get ting the diagnosis and care you deserve.
Sincerely,
THE EVERYTHING HEALTH GUIDES are a part of the bestselling Everything series and cover important health topics like anxiety, postpartum care, and thyroid disease. Packed with the most recent, up-to-date data, THE EVERYTHING HEALTH GUIDES help you get the right diagnosis, choose the best doctor, and find the treatment options that work for you.

To my best girls Kate and Cassie
An enormous debt of gratitude is owed to Shana Priwer and Cynthia Phillips, both top-notch writers and researchers who contributed considerable expertise, time, and knowledge to this book and spent many late nights making it a reality. It was a privilege to work with you. I'd also like to acknowledge Dr. Daniel Lachance for lending his clinical expertise to this project. Thanks go to my two beautiful daughters Cassie and Kate for their patience, love, and support throughout the process. And speaking of patience, I'd like to extend my appreciation to Katie McDonough, Brielle Matson, and every-one at Adams Media for your understanding and guidance. Finally, a shout out to my agent Barb Doyen, master negotiator and head cheerleader, without whom this book would not be possible.
WHETHER YOU'VE BEEN diagnosed with chronic migraines, think you may have the condition, or care about someone who does, you'll find The Everything Health Guide to Migraines an important guidebook to improving physical and emotional well-being. The impact of migraine goes well beyond the attack period; it can have farreaching repercussions at work and home, and it can affect every facet of your life, from the food you eat to the social activities you choose to participate in.
Migraine is a painful and debilitating neurological condition that costs Americans billions of dollars in health care spending, lost workplace productivity, and reduced quality of life. More than just a headache, a migraine attack is a severe episode of prolonged head pain that is frequently accompanied by nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances, sensitivity to light and sound, sensory changes, and mental confusion. And migraine doesn't begin, or end, with head pain. A migraine attack is often preceded and/or followed by a constellation of symptoms, and the entire episode may span a period of several debilitating days. This can result in significant disability for anyone experiencing frequent migraine episodes.
