One
of the fastest growing segments of book publishing is health related
books. Those avaialable range from the superlative to the
outrageous. Some are extremely helpful while others revert back to
telling us it's "all in our heads." Our book reviews will help you
tell the difference.
Review: Living Well with Autoimmune Disease
Times have changed. No longer
do all patients meekly accept what one doctor tells them, especially
when the diagnosis and its consequences are serious. More and more,
patients are educating themselves, becoming active participants in
their own health care. With books such as "Living Well with
Autoimmune Disease" and committed authors like Mary J. Shomon, this
patient strategy is becoming easier.
Review: Handbook of Headache, Second Edition,
Evans and Mathew; from About Headaches and Migraine
This book was supposedly
written for doctors. However, having met Dr. Evans and knowing his
dedication to patient education, I read the book and found what I
expected. He and Dr. Mathew have written a book that's also quite
appropriate for patients on a quest for education. A good medical
dictionary will be helpful, but don't let that stop you.
Review: Migraines and Other Headaches, Young and
Silberstein.
Five stars to "Migraine and
Other Headaches" by William B. Young and Stephen D. Silberstein. The
first of a quality-of-life series from the American Academy of
Neurology, this book is a great educational resource for anyone who
suffers headaches and Migraines of anyone who doesn't, but cares
about someone who does.
Review: Understanding Migraine and Other Headaches
(Tepper)
We all need some good books
about headaches and Migraine in our libraries. The newly released
"Understanding Migraine and Other Headaches" is a quite worthy
addition to anyone's library. Written "for general readers," the
book is, "a comprehensive overview of causes, diagnoses, and
treatments" written in a logical, easy flowing style. You'll find it
complete, up-to-date, and easy to understand.
Review: The MemoryMinder Personal Health Journal
I often emphasize the importance of
maintaining a headache and Migraine diary. However, there are times
when we'd like to keep more information than can be conveniently
recorded on the type of diary page that is simple for our doctors to
review and analyze. I was using a blank journal for that purpose
until I came across the "MemoryMinder Personal Health Journal" by
MemoryMinder Journals, Inc.
