Alison Frith is Clinical Research Sister at the City of London Migraine Clinic. She is co-editor of ABC of Headache and has migraine herself, which gives her a special perspective. Alison was awarded the accolade of Best Healthcare Professional 2008 by the charity Migraine Action.
I think this book is a really accessible read. I particularly liked that not only does it have lots of expert information about these sorts of heeadaches, but that it helpfully has lots of suggested actions to take to avoid getting the headaches as well as what to do if you have one. Great too, if you want a non-migraine sufferer to have some understanding of what's going on.
There is a lot of good, concise, knowledgeable information in this book. Nicely laid out and introduces the subject from the beginning. I found the list of info in the resources section at the back was useful too. I started reading a copy of this book from my local library but quickly decided I would like to have my my own. Highly recommended.
This book not only was excellent value for money but covers all the topics people suffering from Migraines need to know. There are chapters covering problems, symptoms and self help for every type of Migraine suffered.
