- Did you know that that one of the oldest and most commonly heard
- complaints that still abounds today is "I have a headache!"? As a matter of
- fact, its estimated that 45 million Americans suffer from chronic, recurrent
- headaches spending more than $400 million each year on over the counter pain
- relievers. The National Headache Foundation (NHF) is dedicated to helping
- people recognize and obtain treatment for their headaches. A new brochure
- published by NHF entitled "How to Talk to Your Doctor About Headaches"
- provides important guidelines for people to consider when seeking help. This
- "interactive" brochure includes information on keeping a "headache diary",
- "language" used to describe headache pains and over all hints on how best to
- communicate with a doctor. You may obtain this important educational brochure
- by requesting it from National Headache Foundation, 5252 N. Western Avenue,
- Department FD, Chicago, IL 60625. Be sure to enclose a stamped, self
- addressed business sized envelope with 45 cents postage along with your
- request. Booklets of this nature provide you, the patient with the most
- important skill of all, the ability to discuss your problems openly with your
- physician, and to obtain the responses that help you understand your ailment,
- and aid you in overcoming the distress that illness brings.
