 Headache (ACP Key Diseases)
by Elizabeth W., M.D. Loder (Editor), Vincent
T., M.D. Martin (Editor)
Headache is among the most common
complaints encountered in primary care practice. A lengthy list of
disorders, many of them serious, can be associated with headache.
Consequently, the first concern of most physicians and patients is
to assess the likelihood of a dangerous underlying condition. Upon
evaluation, however, most patients are diagnosed with one of the
commonly encountered primary headaches. These are conditions of long
duration and require ongoing management and treatment reassessment,
most often by a primary care provider.
Headache's major
emphasis falls naturally on the "Big Three" headache disorders:
migraine, tension-type, and cluster headaches. Each disorder is
defined and distinguished, and recommended treatment strategies are
summarized with concise, evidence-based algorithms.
Although
written for physician's, "Headache" is also a great book for the
educated patient.

 The
Headache Prevention Cookbook
by David Marks, M.D.
recipes by
Laura Marks,
M.D.
Using anecdotes from his own practice, Marks explains which
ingredients can cause headaches. He also outlines a way to identify
our own triggers. The potential triggers include a wide list of
ordinary foods, such as beans, chili peppers, dried fruits, canned
soup, certain cheeses, certain vinegars, nuts, chocolate, and ice
cream. To help people with undiagnosed food sensitivities steer
clear of the headache-causing culprits, Laura Marks, a doctor and an
accomplished cook, has created more than one hundred easy-to-prepare
recipes including Roast Garlic Linguine, Lemon-Glazed Chicken,
Jewish-Style Baby Artichokes, and Moist Orange Pound Cake. We've
tried some of these recipes. They're wonderful and
easy.

 The
Hormonally Vulnerable Woman: Relief at last for PMS, mood swings, fatigue,
hair loss, adult acne, unwanted hair, female pain, migraine, weight
gain, ... all the problems of perimenopause
by Geoffrey Redmond,
M.D.
According to Geoffrey Redmond, M.D., a majority of the 42
million American women between the ages of thirty-five and
fifty-five suffer from vulnerability to their own hormones.
Appearance, emotions -- and even sex drive -- may be affected.
Symptoms include thinning hair, persistent acne, mood swings, low
energy, loss of pleasure in sex, weight gain, irregular periods, and
pain. While the media has emphasized the problems of menopause, Dr.
Redmond explains that all too many women experience hormonal
miseries even in their thirties. Lab tests are often normal because
the problem is not the hormones themselves but how a woman's body
reacts to them. Healthy, active women suddenly find that once
quiescent hormones have taken over control of their lives. Because
their problems are often dismissed as trivial, women who are
hormonally vulnerable are frequently thwarted in their quest for
help. Too often they are brushed off with remarks such as, "Your
tests are normal; there's nothing wrong with you." This is tragic
because, as Dr. Redmond demonstrates, hormonal balance can nearly
always be restored with the treatments he details, which include
individualized use of prescription medications, herbal supplements,
lifestyle changes, and even spiritual
practices.

 Living Well with Autoimmune
Disease: What Your Doctor Doesn't
Tell You That You Need To Know
by Mary
Shomon
Autoimmune diseases affect 50 million Americans,
mostly women, who frequently remain undiagnosed and untreated, or
are treated ineffectively. Living Well with Autoimmune
Disease helps readers pinpoint symptoms, find the right
practitioner, and learn cutting-edge approaches to reduce symptoms
and reverse their disease. Author Mary Shomon, who has the immune
disease Hashimoto's thyroiditis, explains how the immune system is
supposed to work, and what can go wrong. Then she discusses more
than 20 specific autoimmune diseases--such as chronic fatigue
syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, lupus, thyroid disease,
Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes,
fibromyalgia, scleroderma, and multiple
sclerosis.

 Living Well with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and
Fibromyalgia: What Your Doctor
Doesn't Tell You That You Need To Know
by Mary
Shomon
A comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and
treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia -- vital help
for the millions of people suffering from pain, fatigue, and sleep
problems. An estimated 6 million Americans suffer from fibromyalgia
and 800,000 have chronic fatigue syndrome. Both conditions are
characterized by severe and widespread pain, debilitating fatigue,
and difficulty with concentration and memory. Getting diagnosed can
be particularly difficult, and patients must then navigate
conflicting information and the latest fads in order to choose from
among dozens of treatment options. In her trademark accessible,
easy-to-follow style, patient advocate Mary J. Shomon explores these
often confusing conditions, highlighting the pros and cons of
conventional and alternative approaches, giving you tips for
developing a recovery plan, and providing clear direction and
solutions for sufferers of chronic fatigue syndrome and
fibromyalgia.

 Living Well with Hypothyroidism: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You That You Need
To Know
by Mary Shomon
As many as one in eight women
have a thyroid condition. In Living Well with Hypothyroidism, Mary
Shomon outlines the most common of these--too little thyroid
hormones in the body. Weight gain, depression, fatigue, and what
patients call "brain fog, Brillo hair, and prune skin" result.
Because the symptoms of hypothyroidism mimic so many other
conditions--chronic fatigue, PMS, clinical depression--it can be
very tricky to diagnose, especially since patients with HMOs may not
get the thorough testing they need. Shomon knows of what she speaks:
she's a health writer and thyroid patient herself. She also manages
a thyroid Web site and writes a newsletter on hypothyroidism. In
Living Well, she offers an extensively researched guide to this
complex condition. She covers conventional, alternative, and
late-breaking approaches to treatment--such as challenging the gold
standard of Synthroid as the thyroid replacement therapy of choice.
(Synthroid replaces T4, the less active of the two thyroid hormones,
and Shomon features new research on adding T3--the more potent
thyroid hormone--to
treatment.)

manage your condition. Shomon, herself a thyroid patient, draws on

the most comprehensive and empowering book available on the
subject.

 Pain: the Fifth Vital Sign
by Marni
Jackson
Pain: The Fifth Vital Sign is a ground-breaking
inquiry into the nature, treatment, and definition of modern pain.
In the United States, there has been a recent campaign to treat pain
as the fifth vital sign. Just as temperature, respiration, pulse,
and blood pressure, the four traditional vital signs, must be
charted, hospitals are now obliged to assess pain in their patients,
too. If this indeed happens, it will be nothing less than
groundbreakingmaking pain far more visible. For too, pain has been
a dark continent, both in the body and in our culture. However,
medicine is finally learning to evaluate pain as something more than
a symptoma main focus rather than a frustrating side issue for
doctors. Above all, Pain: The Fifth Vital Sign makes an elusive
subject vivid and readable. We all know what pain is. Now it has a
voice.

 The Spectrum of Migraine
by Alan M. Rapoport, Fred D. Sheftell, Stewart
J. Tepper (Editor)
This book consists of case
descriptions of headache, prepared by headache specialists who range
in their training specialty: family practice, internal medicine,
dentistry, emergency medicine, and neurology. All of the cases are
presented initially without a diagnosis; the diagnosis is then
provided during the discussion. Recommended reading selections
complete each chapter.
The hope is that physicians will read the
case presentations and try to come up with a diagnosis and approach
to treatment before reading the discussion.
The goal is to help physicians identify
migraine in its many forms, as well as some common headache
disorders sharing features with migraine, and to discuss up-to-date
management of these headaches. Written for physicians, but excellent
for the educate Migraineur.
