Goldstein has chosen well, and arranged the excerpts into a superb range of topics.
Topics covered in "Cluster Headaches" include:
- Symptoms
- Initial Diagnosis
- Onset and Duration
- Recurrig Cycles
- Pain
- Effect on Life
- Triggers
- Treatment and Relief

Summary
For a basic book to help understand the impact of cluster headaches or to reinforce that sufferers are not alone, one can hardly do better than to read the words of sufferers. "Cluster Headaches" fills that bill and fills it well.
