List Of Helpful Migraine Cell Phone Apps. 2023
Living well with migraine takes organization for migraine patients. They should do the migraine lifestyle so that they eat well, relax, exercise, deal with stress, and get a good night’s sleep. All these factors are be very important and should be done.
Another important issue is to track the occurrence of migraine headaches, when they come and to list what drugs worked and exactly the headaches were like and what you took. You can learn from this experience and then you can take the information to your Neurologist on your next visit.

Time of onset of headache
Time treatment was given

List of drugs taken for the migraine.
