even better

I got Dr. R's book for the public, Headache Help, and that was excellent so I purchased this one, I think written for doctors. It is excellent, incredibly complete....I used it to suggest treatments to my doctor...by far the most extensive book I have found on the medicines....JH

Excellent book

Dr. Robbins has once again written technical medical information in language the ordinary layman can understand and put to practical use. As a headache suffer myself, information contained in this book has helped me cope with the day to day trials of headache life. This info, coupled with what I learned in Dr. Robbins previous books, has opened my eyes and helped me understand some of the "whys" and "why nots" of certain mediations and even the medical profession itself. I recommend this book as "must reading" for the headache communuity.

Best Headache Book for Physicians on the Market

The 2nd edition of this book is now available. This book had previously been reviewed as the best headache book on the market for physicians. It describes in detail all the different types of headache and dicusses all treatment and medications available. It is particularly good for what to do when nothing works. Although initially intended for physicians, this book is very understandable and readable for the patient as well. This is a "must have" for anyone suffering from headache.
