Track change in pain intensity, symptoms, medication intake during an attack#1220

This topic has generated a great deal of discussion, so let’s focus on gathering your feedback and suggestions related specifically to tracking changes here.

Some of you have already provided valuable input through a survey, we got more than 1200 answers!!!! You are such a great community and I want to thank you very much for your contributions.
Your insights have been instrumental in our efforts to incorporate the evolution of attacks into a calendar feature for chronic migraine sufferers experiencing daily attacks. Our technicians are currently hard at work on this, so stay tuned for updates I will communicate on its availability and functionality when it is ready to launch.

For those who are not chronic, don’t worry! We’re still actively exploring the best approach to meet your needs. To better understand how we can provide the best solutions, I’ll soon be sharing a new questionnaire designed specifically for non-chronic migraine sufferers (those who don’t have daily attacks).

Let’s continue to collaborate on this journey together!
Your input is invaluable, thank you for sharing it!

Thank you Jenny, this is great. I look forward to the next questionnaire

I agree with this suggestion. Most of the time the intensity changes throughout my attacks. It might start at a 4 and then go up to a 7 and then go back down to a 3 before it is over. Also mine are typically for a day or longer so I try several different type of reliefs. It would be good to be able to timestamp when I took what and if it helped at the time or not.

Both are possible in the app, from the notes section you can use the timestamps to note exactly when the intensity changed or when you took a medication.
Then for each relief method you can use the relief scale to evaluate how effective the relief is. Tap on the medication with the question mark on it to open the relief scale screen.
Then all of this will appear in your doctor’s report

Thank you- I had no idea I could do that in the notes section!

The notes section is good for tracking when things happen. Although It would be amazing to be able to add the changes and intensity as an ongoing data point. This could contribute to a more detailed analysis in our reports. Perhaps there are patterns in the way the migraine presents itself.

I imagine it being a timeline for the attack perhaps it can be a graph of intensity points with another data point of when a user inputs a relief method or medication.

Yes this would be really helpful for me in observing the pattern of my migraines and perhaps work out when pre-drome becomes migraine and then post-drome

I find that I can only enter so many notes and then the app won’t let me anymore. Also, with my last attack it reminded me to update three times a day for maybe 3 days and then it quit reminding me altogether. I can have an attack that last for longer than that or go away and then come back without me being aware that it’s happening because there’s so much going on in my life. The sleep detector has also quit working - not that it ever worked very well for me. There needs to be a way to detect when I’m asleep and when I’m awake. Quite often the app doesn’t want to open or is buggy. It would be good to have something that would allow for attacks that tend to happen every evening, or more than once in a day or an evening.
