Migraine Toolkit

If you or someone close to you has migraine disease, you may already know that it’s more than “just a headache.”

Many people think of migraine as a severe headache, but migraine is actually a neurological condition with many different symptoms. Yes, the most common symptom of a migraine attack is head pain, which can be severe or moderate and long-lasting. But there are many other symptoms as well.

Migraine symptoms can include:

Sensitivity to light, sound and smells
Eye pain
Vision problems like tunnel vision, blurry vision or seeing flashing lights
Nausea
Dizziness, numbness and tingling
Sweating
Increased urination
Fatigue
Frequent yawning
Constipation

And migraine may come with or without aura, which is a warning that a migraine headache is coming on.

There’s a wide variety of ways to experience migraine and a wide variety of treatments available as well.

Migraine toolkit

We’ve put together a migraine toolkit to help you navigate this complicated disease or care for someone who’s living with it.

Here, you’ll find a journal to help track triggers and symptoms so you and your healthcare provider (HCP) can try to find patterns that will help get the disease under better control, a migraine action plan you can put together with your HCP, a checklist to help support dialogue with an HCP, and a list of resources where you can learn more about the disease and find support. We’ve also included a migraine health plan for school and a pediatric migraine action plan you can use if you’re caring for a child with migraine.

And finally, we’ve included some screening quizzes you can take if you think you may be living with migraine disease. If you are experiencing migraine, it’s important to talk to an HCP about managing your condition.
