If you could remember your own potty training, you’d probably recall a time filled with anxiety and glee, frustration and a sense of accomplishment, triumphal joy and shamed remorse. You’d remember wanting so much to make mommy and daddy happy, and at the same time to make them pay for being so darned unreasonable. And you’d recall feeling incredibly grown up once you got it right. Maybe if we could remember our own potty training, it wouldn’t be so tough when it came our turn to be the trainers. But as it is, most of us feel like we can use all the expert advice and guidance we can get.

Potty Training For Dummies

If you get migraines you know how laughable it is to hear them described as “headaches.” As one poet put it, “the migraine is a beast from Hell, a bone-crushing, brain-twisting, heart-rending, apocalyptic scourge―an insult to all that’s holy.” And that’s putting it mildly. People have been trying to tame the migraine beast for thousands of years. Some early healers bored holes into their patients’ skulls, the Greeks inhaled the smoke of burning coffee beans, while in ancient Egypt, doctors tied herb-stuffed clay crocodiles to migraine sufferer’s heads. Fortunately, we live in more enlightened times and there are now medically sound approaches that are relatively simple and inexpensive―and they don’t leave scars or involve extreme fashion statements. 
Your complete guide to taking charge of your migraines and getting your life back, Migraines For Dummies offers a focused, fleshed-out program that works in the real world. This friendly guide fills you in on what you need to know to: <ul>
<li>Understand migraines and why you get them</li> <li>Relieve symptoms</li> <li>Pinpoint pain triggers</li> <li>Sort through the various medications</li> <li>Evaluate alternative remedies</li> <li>Make simple migraine-busting lifestyle changes</li> <li>Stop migraines from disrupting your family and work lives</li> <li>Find a good doctor to help you manage the beast</li> </ul>
The authors look at the whole spectrum of the problem―from dealing with the number-one issue of pain relief, to handling the peripheral problems like absences from work skepticism from friends, and impact on family. They also explore a range of critical related issues, including: <ul>
<li>Different types of migraines, including abdominal, ocular, hemiplegic, opthamoplegic, and women’s hormonal migraines</li> <li>Triggers, such as environmental allergens, stress, dietary triggers, and even exercises that can cause migraines</li> <li>Over-the-counter medications, vitamins and herbal supplements</li> <li>Biofeedback, meditation, massage, acupuncture, and other alternative remedies</li> <li>The pros and cons of prescription remedies, including ergotamine derivatives, antidepressants, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, botox and more</li> </ul>
