Summary
It's been a few years since a good, comprehensive book was written for patients. With so much research in the field, additional medications being found to be effective as preventives, and newly developed triptans, it's time for some new books. A great deal of work and dedication went into this one. Dr. Tepper told me:
"The book was conceived in 1999 (it took 5 years to come to fruition) and designed for the intelligent layperson, patient, or primary care resident or doctor, to help with an overview of primary headaches. The idea was that through understanding, better care for people could be achieved."
In my opinion, the time invested has paid off well in a book that will do a great deal to move readers toward the understanding Dr. Tepper and all of us with headaches and Migraines long for.
