In writing this book, retired doctor Jennifer Barraclough has drawn on her personal journey with the migraines which began in her teenage years and persisted until later life. "Migraine and Me" is a concise practical guide intended for migraineurs themselves and for their families, colleagues, and friends.
Interweaving her own personal story and those of other contributors with evidence from published research, Jennifer addresses migraine from a holistic perspective. Besides summarizing current medical knowledge about causes and management, she considers psychological, social and spiritual aspects, including some controversial topics such as the concept of a "migraine personality" and the reasons for stigma.
Alongside the use of prescribed drugs for preventing and treating attacks, the potential for self-help through lifestyle changes and natural therapies is highlighted. The relationship between migraine and creativity is examined, and some possible "silver linings" are proposed.
"Migraine and Me" offers empathy, practical insights, and hope for anyone affected by this complex neurological condition once described in a drug advertisment as "like hell on earth".
