Migraine

I Just got a copy of the book on migraines by Drs Young and Silberstein. I am impressed. They managed to use fully medical terms, but due to illustrations and their style of writing, I could understand everything, without having them dumb it down to elementary level. I find it extremely interesting. I've come across a few parts already where I've just about yelled "eureka" Things I've always wondered about made perfectly clear finally! The only dissapointment is that while they go into basilar migraines, they don't really mention hemiplegic*my type* oh well! I can live with that

A great read and its making me even more anxious to see Dr Young in person :-)

Bim,

That book is the first in a series specifically for patients planned by the American Academy of Neurology. It's one of my favorites too as I indicate in the review we have on the site...
