The 2nd edition of The End of Migraines, 150 Ways to Stop Your Pain was just published

October 15, 2022

The second updated and expanded edition of The End of Migraines, 150 Ways to Stop Your Pain is now available on Amazon.com. The book is available as an ebook, paperback and hardcover. I would recommend getting the Kindle or ebook version as it has over 100 hyperlinks to original articles and other resources.

Thank you to all of my colleagues who gave a rousing endorsement for the first edition. This a self-published book without the marketing force of a major publisher. If you read it, please post a review on Amazon and spread the word about it.
