On paper, Viive McBroom lives the perfect life--a key player in a fast-paced, technical field, one promotion away from real success--but that's only if you ignore one little problem.

Sandwiched between one migraine and the next, Viive's life is like those choose-your-own-adventure books you read as a kid, only less fun and with a lot more drugs. Faced with frustration from her loved ones and the dark machinations of a new coworker, Viive feels herself getting pulled under by guilt, apologies, and workplace shenanigans. But then she meets the Migraine Mafia, a quirky, vibrant support group, and her fragile camouflage begins to crumble. She discovers that a room full of strangers just might be able to change the way she views her illness--and realizes that if she doesn't learn to ask for help, her health isn't the only thing she stands to lose.

Sometimes painful, frequently hilarious, always entertaining, "The Migraine Mafia" is the story of one woman's life-altering quest to thrive in the face of chronic illness.

This book is for anyone that has migraines, loves someone with migraines, or deals with someone who has migraines. Having them for almost 30 years, not to the level of Viive, but enough to go to the ER to have shots in my ass on many occasions, is enough to know that life is not going well. Trying several meds that don't work or make your entire world seem void, jelly like or just plain odd, is enough to want to cry, but that just causes enough pain. But the worst part is dealing with people who think you have not done everything possible to stop them, such as her sister-in-law. Or that you are only wanting the attention. I could think of several other ways I would rather have the attention, and I can think of several times people have given me advice. Drink more water, stop drinking this, stop eating this, but until they have taken care of my food logs, had my allegry test, MRI's, EKGs, EEGs, CT scans, and taken all the drugs given to me, they need to realize that I appreciate more than anything for them to leave me alone for the moment. And finally, Viive, tells everyone just that close to the end of the book to the people that really don't have an impact on her well being. She only takes the people who have her well being at heart and keeps them close. The ones that don't, she either tells them to get educated, or just tells them to go. I hope you find your trick of getting rid of your migraines, I have found a small help, but it is not a real fix as I will have to live with it forever. If I could find my own Migraine Mafia, I would be really happy. Thank you Maia for sharing this amazing book. God bless you for writing this. And thank you to my husband for staying by my side.

very enjoyable

I can recommend this book both to migrainers and to anyone who themselbes have no migraines but have a friend or family with migraines.
I used to have seasons of regular migraines at particularly stressful and busy times of my life what I now have is daily rebound headaches which this book will explain are rsults of the overuse of regular painkillers.
This book gives no answers but is a fun and entertaining book without making light of the seriousness of migraine. To me it was a refreshing patch in my daily struggle with not being able to imagine life without painkillers.

Meet some friends in the Migraine Mafia!

Reading about someone else with the same struggle really made me happy, actually. People who don't get migraines don't understand what all the fuss is about generally, so to read the same symptoms happening to someone else, it really made a difference. I didn't even realize I was looking for my own version of a Migraine Mafia! Thanks for the book. Style was breezy and direct. Very modern.

Envying somebody who can just pick anything off a menu and know they'll be able to enjoy it, feeling feeble at not being able to

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 4 aprile 2016

I had so many moments of recognition while reading this book: Envying somebody who can just pick anything off a menu and know they'll be able to enjoy it, feeling feeble at not being able to just tough it out, walking a tightrope between treating proactively and leaving it too late, hating to let people down because of a migraine, having an understanding partner and still feeling guilty, explaining the condition over and over again and some people still not grasping it...

It's not one long whinge, there are flashes of humour (including comments about the difficult to open packaging of migraine medication). If you get migraines, you should read it. If you don't get migraines you really should read it, because it will at least let you know how not to treat somebody who gets them. It's not a treatise or medical book, and focuses more on a person who's trying to get on with her life, just like everyone else she knows. There's not exactly a happy ending, but there's at least a possiblity that quality of life will improve once the central character feels more free to stop pretending that she's okay when she isn't.
