I’m pleased to announce that Migraine and Me: A doctor’s experience of understanding and coping with migraine is now available as an ebook from Amazon Kindle and various other online retailers as listed on this link, with a print version planned to follow soon.
My migraines began in my teenage years and continued until later life. In this short book I’ve combined personal stories from myself and other contributors with information from published research. Writing both as a (retired) doctor and as a (recovered) migraine patient, I’ve aimed to balance the medical aspects with the psychological, social and even spiritual ones. The book describes how lifestyle measures and complementary therapies, as well as prescribed drugs, can help to prevent attacks. It covers some sensitive topics such as the concept of a ‘migraine personality’ and the reasons for stigma, and ends on a positive note with sections about creativity and ‘silver linings’.
To quote from the blurb: “Migraine and Me offers empathy, practical insights, and hope for anyone affected by this complex neurological condition, once described in a drug advertisement as hell on earth.”
If there is anyone in your circle who is affected by migraine and might be interested, please share this post with them. Here again is the link to the book.
