Critiques
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.This is a helpful introduction to the causes of/treatment options for migraines for someone (like me) who has recently started to experience them. I find it particularly useful in that it breaks down the types of migraines that may be experienced and discusses their attributes and causes. Many other sources assume that everyone experiences migraines in the smart way and for the same reasons.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.Excellent, and interesting, overview of pet therapy with dogs. Includes a historical look at dogs in both therapy and as medical assistants. Dawn then covers modern uses of pet companions including assistance with mental and physical illnesses.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.The ironic thing is that, about the time I received this book, I stopped having migraines. My family of origin all has migraines, and I fully expected to have them the rest of my life. But through the miracle of topiramate, I have not had a full migraine in a year. Still, I found this book thorough and helpful (although the illustrations and art throughout are mismatched and generally awful.) I liked the inclusion of brand names for medications along with the generic names, a thorough discussion of non-pharmaceutical treatments, tips, questions to ask your doctor, instructions for keeping a headache diary, information about migraines during pregnancy and breast-feeding, and the nitty-gritty about hormones and migraine. I liked especially the part and the very beginning that explained that migraine is more than just a headache. I also liked the discussion of migraine throughout the life cycle, from child to post-menopause. It's wonderful to have a book that discusses *women* and migraine, one that doesn't just lump women in with men (we're different.) I'd recommend (and have!) this book to any woman who suffers with migraine. Hopefully with the next edition, they'll opt for new artwork. Overall, good job.… (plus d'informations)

Much of the book focuses on how having a dog can benefit all of us, especially by forcing us to become more active, along with listing the benefits of activity in our daily lives. There is also an entire section of resources where you can find out more about dog therapy work.
As a previous volunteer working with the San Diego Humane Society’s Pet Therapy Program, I can personally relate to many of the stories the author tells about the positive effects dogs have in changing a person’s health and attitudes.
Although I won this book in an Early Reviewers giveaway in 2020, I never received it. Eventually, I purchased it in August 2023, and this is my review.… (plus d'informations)
