“All in My Head” by Paula Kamen. I appreciated her assertive, never-say-never approach to headache care and treatment. If one approach didn’t work for her, she was willing to try something else. Kamen also has a refreshingly “real” style of writing that made me feel a little less alone in headache hell.

I liked the Bucholz book as well, but I reacted to his suggestion that if you’ve done the three steps and still hurt, you must “need” to have headaches. He seemed to imply that if you follow his plan and still hurt, then you must have some secondary benefit to daily pain. I’d like to shake him and say, “Pal, no one is fluffing my pillows and bringing me tea. I’m still working full time and looking after a household. Show me the secondary benefit.” But that’s just me.

Woohoo on book #2 – I didn’t know that you’d found some help! That’s fantabulous.

Gluten Free Girl-by Shauna James Ahern. I was successfully diagnosed with gluten and casein allergies this year (after receiving a diagnosis of living with Asperger’s Syndrome) and I feel a million times better for having removed these foods from my diet. Shuana’s book is for everyone (not just celiac’s or those with autism) that want to say “yes” to food, life, and loving every bit of it.
