I recently discovered this book at my university book store, and am convinced that everyone should read it.
Bernstein has founded the first Migraine Center for Women in the US, and this book shares her extensive knowledge on the subject.
I was most relieved (and bummed) when I read that people who get migraines actually have something in their brain that is different than brains that do not get migraines. So, rather than being a 'bad headache' that sufferers exaggerate (as some people argue), Bernstein says that migraine is a genetic disorder to which there is no cure. If you get migraines, this is good news! I have often laid there in pain wondering if I was going to die, or if I was ever going to be okay again... Now I know that I am not going to die from migraines, and that while there is no cure, I can prevent and manage this thing!!
