Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Understanding Your Migraines is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for people who suffer from migraine headaches, as well as for their families and their caretakers. Drs. Levin and Ward bring their vast experience studying and treating migraine to this book in a clear, practical and easily understandable volume which covers all of the aspects of migraine that plague individuals and their families. Numerous examples of real people with migraine help illustrate the options available for finding relief for this highly disabling worldwide health problem.
MoreLong description:
Twelve percent of the world's population is affected by migraines, tallying up to more than 35 million people in the US alone. The World Health Organization lists it among the top ten most disabling conditions. But even with those numbers, why are we still plagued with this disorder and what can we do, in our daily lives, to manage this devastating and demoralizing brain illness?
Understanding Your Migraines: A Guide for Patients and Families addresses, in clear prose:
· The impact migraines can have on your life, and your family's;
· How to communicate and work with your medical team to make sure nothing is overlooked in your quest to conquer your migraines;
· Non-medicinal and new experimental ways to reduce migraine symptoms;
· The special and important cases of dealing with migraine during pregnancy, in children, and in adolescents;
· How you can find online and community resources for learning more.
Understanding Your Migraine: A Guide for Patients and Families brings together the expertise of two eminent headache neurologists, Dr. Morris Levin and Dr. Thomas Ward, who have each been caring for headache patients for more than 35 years. Peppered with patient cases to show how to successfully deal with a variety of headache issues, the authors address common concerns in an easy-to-read and comprehensive manner, making this a must-have on every bedside table.
This book is for patients, but alas I cannot think of a clinician or health care professional doing headache neurology who would not benefit from reading it and having it on hand or in a pocket. Bookstores have a scarcity of good patient books, and this one should be popular and retain its education value for years... So I would recommend it and say take it with you to your doctor, and if you are a headache doctor then take it with you to your office.
