Managing Your Migraine: A Migraine Sufferer’s Practical Guide
February 16, 2008
For the first time, a migraine sufferer presents-with the close guidance of a renowned medical specialist-a comprehensive, sympathetic, up-to-date, and understandable survey of this painful and life-disrupting disorder and the measures you can take to break its iron grip.
In Managing Your Migraine, Susan Burks, a longtime victim of the illness, speaks to all those who have not yet achieved adequate personal control and are dissatisfied with their current medical treatment. Tailoring her book to your individual needs through the use of self-surveys and questionnaires, she details lifestyle strategies for avoiding migraine and shows how to develop new skills for its control. She fully explains the role of dietary triggers in migraine attacks and outlines the three levels of dietary restriction appropriate for different types of sufferers. She also answers your questions about the effect of female hormones on migraine, the relationship between migraine and depression, and the potential dangers from nonheadache medications, noxious odors, and chemicals.
When as a last resort drug remedies are needed, the author discusses in detail the cost/benefit ratio of popular medications and explains how to avoid misusing them. Addressing both over-the-counter and prescription medications, the book identifies the most effective medicines, concentrating on those with the lowest potential for unpleasant and/or dangerous side effects, and gives migraine sufferers practical tips for fine-tuning their dosages.
Managing Your Migraine speaks to your needs as a migraine sufferer. It confirms that you suffer from a genuine physical illness and that others share your frustration, disappointments, and anger. Its goal is to move you beyond “learning to live with it” to a full understanding of its mechanisms, symptoms, and treatments. This book proves that you can take charge of your illness-and shows you how to do so safely, effectively, and with real confidence.
Customer Review: migraine information with explanations!
In my experience, the best book about migraines (although now a bit old). Mostly, I have found all migraine books to provide the same information - what foods to avoid, what are common triggers, etc. This one, written by someone who has had extensive personal experience with migraines, gives much the same information but also provides background and possible explanations for why the things she has found, work for her. For myself, knowing the “why” is at least as important for knowing the “what.”
It was also encouraging to read her own experiences. Often, I get frustrated with the books written by doctors, who have experience with patients, but don’t actually experience the intolerable agony of migraine. Reading a book by someone who has gone through it all helps. Her review of the medical literature was important as a start for my own attempts to understand what is going on in my head when it feels like it is about to explode. buy from here…

(When you read claims about what ingredients do, just ask yourself, “When worn on the bottom of the feet?” Or “Is it possible for a product to contain that?” ….(Example: Some products list Negative Ions as an ingredient. That is not much different from saying their product contains sunshine!)……. No animal products such as chitosan (shell-fish) which is there for its anti-bacterial properties (and not for absorbing fat as some would have you believe.) Our product has such a high percentage of wood vinegar, it needs no added anti-bacterial. …….. No industrial by-product wood vinegar (often bamboo)…….. Sealed properly to avoid a loss in effectiveness due to exposure to moisture. ………. 5+ grams (as compared to 3.5 or even less for most)……. BodyRelief lasts longer and is extremely effective!
Customer Review: Don’t buy these if you are sensitive to bad odors
These pads might work, but I wasn’t able to use them more than one night. The pads smell terribly, but I tried putting them on my feet overnight anyway. By morning the smell was even worse, and I didn’t feel any better. I scrubbed my feet for half an hour, but the smell wouldn’t go away. It had just soaked into the soles of my feet like nothing I have ever known before. It was a week before it went away, even with repeated twice daily scrubbing, as well as soaking my feet every day for half an hour. I am extra sensitive to scents though. I can’t really review how they work though, since I couldn’t use them more than once.
Customer Review: Great Relief from Body Relief
Headaches. Back aches. Muscle aches. They come hand in hand with a 52 yr. old trying to keep up with his four grown children on the tennis courts and the ski slopes. Thanks to the Body Relief pads I feel 20 years younger. I’ve been using them for two years, placing them directly on the parts of my body that are hurting. They live up to their name! buy from here…

Customer Review: fun to use and with amazing results
I get together with several friends to use these. I do not recommend (strongly) that you never attempt this alone. The flame gets pretty high so keep a bowl of water handy. Just blowing them out creates alot of smoke and can send red ashes on the carpet or in your hair. But we found seashell crumbles, sand and gnats in our ears as well as water and tons of wax. Great for surfers and swimmers. I don’t know about the headache part, though. buy from here…
