The mother of all headaches, migraine sufferers are often in the dark, both physically, in terms of pain management, and figuratively, as concerns the triggers and evasion of migraine headaches. As a neurological syndrome of unknown origin, migraines are characterized by altered bodily perceptions including auras, severe headaches, and nausea. This is a condition more common in women than in men. The typical migraine headache occurs on one side of the head and includes distinct pulsating, lasting up to 72 hours. Migraine symptoms include nausea, vomiting, plus sensitivity to light and sound. Treatments for the prevention and management of migraine headaches vary from prescription drugs to cannabis and acupressure. This book explores all aspects of migraine headaches, the triggers, the signs and symptoms, the prevention and migraine pain management.
