Everyone experiences a headache at one time or another. But for an estimated 2/3 of men and women, frequent tension headaches, chronic daily headaches, or debilitating Migraines are a daily problem.

Over the top
This book has some useful information in it so, with caution, it's worth reading. Unfortunately the writer seems to be a rather angry woman. She chooses extreme cases as examples and has a rather nagging tone. It annoyed me. Other books have given me the same information presented better and with a much more understanding tone (Valerie South's book "Migraine" the best I've read so far)
