Summary: Run don't Walk!
Review: Run, don't walk, to get this book, if you or anyone you know suffers from migraine. By a terrific doctor who is a migraine sufferer himself, you will be amazed at how many symptoms a migraineur can have that are not even a headache. This is a widely misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated malady and sufferers need to be INFORMED about what is happening to them and why it is happening. Save yourself lots of grief and pain, read this book and you will be well armed in your fight for relief from this horrible malady. I'm updating this review due to some of the unbelievably idiotic negative reviews some have given this book, one who admits they haven't even read it! After reading this book several years ago and most anything else published on migraine since, I can still say this is the book that is an absolute "Must Read" for any migraineur. You can't properly seek treatment until you understand what migraine actually is, not a 'headache' but a neurological disease, and this book will arm you with the most important weapon there is - correct information!

Summary: Best Book on Subject!
Review: This is a quiet classic from the well known and much respected Physician-Author. I highly recommend this book to anyone who suffers from migraines or knows someone who has a history of migraines. It is without a doubt the best book to gain understanding into what migraine sufferers face. Steve Walker

Summary: FASCINATING...
Review: Truthfully I didn't expect this to be an enjoyable book. I bought it because i have migraines. But I was fascinated by the history and especially by what it must have been like to suffer migraine symptoms (ie hallucinations) in earlier days...Were these people called insane? possessed? witches? Yes, I believe they were. I learned alot about this complex range of symptoms and it helped me recognze symptoms earlier...there by getting more effective treatment. Some of this book was dry (it is afterall a medical text) but overall I found that the good outweighed the boring. I would say this is a must for anyone interested in migraines...and possibly also for people interested in the treatment of ill people before modern medicine.
