Coping with Headaches and Migraine
by Alison Frith
Headache and migraine affect more than 10 million people in the UK, two thirds of whom are women. They are one of the most common problems seen in doctors’ surgeries and emergency departments, and are a leading cause of absenteeism at work and school, affecting a staggering 90,000 people each working day. There are a number of causes and triggers including lifestyle, diet, stress, and hormonal fluctuations. In the past, migraine was something you just had to ‘put up with’ and today many people do just still struggle on as best they can, or cope by drawing the curtains and going to bed. Nowadays, however, much can be done to manage and prevent migraine and other headaches, and this book explores these options.
