What is Reddit's opinion of Migraine Buddy - The Migraine and Headache tracker?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Migraine ~~Tracker~~ Buddy. Helps me keep track of 'em in case I need to tell my doctor, or in case I just want to see what causes them and helps them most of the time. Amazing that it's free as well though.

EDIT: Added link (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.healint.migraineapp&hl=en_GB) and edited words.

SECOND EDIT: Whoa! I'm glad so many people found this helpful! May your migraines be tracked successfully!

I use the app Migraine Buddy (link below). It includes tracking for severity, treatments, potential triggers, medications, location of the migraine and the amount of sleep that you are getting at night. This app also has a calendar that shows the sleep you are getting and the days with a migraine/headache. It also creates several charts and diagrams that make this information easy to read and share.

Oh, and link for Android app (I think there's an iPhone version too). It's a really good app for tracking your migs. I find it invaluable when talking to doctors as you have a full record of all your migs.

I use an app called migraine buddy, it's there on my phone to remind me and once you've logged the start of it, it shows a little icon to remind you to complete the log. It's very useful and shows you things like average length of attack, sleep, common trigger etc. It's available on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.healint.migraineapp

I can totally relate to you. I've had migraines since I was 23. I saw a neurologist back in the beginning of my developing migraines. I was terrified, yet kinda hoping they found something when I was scheduled for an MRI. My thinking was, if they found something, maybe they can take it out and no more migraines. No abnormalities were found. I've been on several different medications, none really worked. One did, but the cognitive side effect was to much. I'm now taking Aimovig, the once a month injection and that seems to be doing pretty well. You should be totally honest with your neurologist. Tell them how often you're getting your migraines, what the pain levels are, any possible triggers you may have found, what medications you have tried. Anything and everything will help your neurologist determine what the best course of action for you will be. If you haven't tried it, the Migraine Buddy app on the Google play store is what I use to track my migraines. Try it! It's been a big help for myself. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.healint.migraineapp Good luck with your neurologist and just tell the truth.

They even have a "Type" field where you can specify "Migraine, Tension, Cluster Headache or Other", it keeps track of the weather (temp, pressure and I think humidity) during the attack, you can try to find triggers, etc. It's really a great tool, it does ask a lot of questions, but you don't have to put any of it in (just start/end times).

There is a headache app called Migraine Buddy that does this very well. Just make sure it's battery use is not restricted. It tracks the non-motion of your phone between the times you designate.

I use Migraine Buddy to track all my migraines. It also lets you import it in a tabular format which I take with me during my neuro visits.

If you get a lot of migraines, Migraine Buddy. You put in pain level, what's affected, what medicine did you take, did it work, what are the triggers, and you can add stuff. It makes it easier to figure out what your triggers might be, what medicine works the best, etc. You can print it out and take it to the doctor if you are still having problems so they can see it too.

Do you have a smartphone? There are apps that make it easy. I use Migraine Buddy on Andriod

I went through this a while ago and am still figuring it out.

1. try to figure out if it's not food, check for atmospheric pressure changes (rain, clouds coming in, clouds leaving, Migraine Buddy, or WeatherSpark)
2. Watch out for MSG or anything that contains free glutamates, i use this list as a guideline. (yes it is a huge pain to follow)
3. Cut out all processed food, no lunch meats due to nitrates, no cheese, no alcohol, see #2
4. When in doubt go with chicken breast, ~~apples, and steamed vegetables.~~ Edit: Apparently Apples and vegetables can be triggers due to Fructose, latex, and salicylates. Credit /u/Ananiujitha
5. Avoid leftovers more than 1 day old
6. Don't eat out anymore till you can get it under control.

Good luck.
