Track Preventatives#139

Add a tracking feature for taking preventive medication or using device like a Cefaly

Agree, preventive methods should be added for effectively having tracking

It’s very important for me to be able to track preventives as I’m taking a couple and tracking the migraine days on/off preventive day matters.

I am having trouble deciding how to track my preventatives in the App. How do we enter a monthly injection like Ajovy? How should we enter preventatives like exercise, changing meals, avoiding gluten, etc.

Im trialing taking minetals etc. and it would be good to have that on the daily tracker, along with exercise, diet changes etc. to see its impact vs migraine attacks

@Nadia Locke thanks for the suggestion.
I’ll keep an eye on this thread so don’t hesitate to keep posting usecases. What you are describing now seems to be like a medication and relief report, right?
Wishing you a lovely, migraine-free day!

I was talking about my monthly Ajovy shot, daily Sertaline 50mg, daily Duloxetine 60mg, Daily Topiramate 50mg, daily Magnesium 400mg, Daily CoQ10 100mg. These are being taken to prevent or reduce migraines and it seems they should be part of the MB story. Maybe if you created a single page for data entry & changes updating. Yes, a medication and relief report showing the trend of migraine frequency and intensity related to what was being taken. Then over time we could see if changing any of these type medications benefited or not. Thank you!!

Track daily habits that are preventatives as well such as good nutrition and exercise, along with type and intensity.

I’d like to be able to input my vyepti and botox. It would help to determine if they are working. If i could see that i had less attacks or lower severity after doesing that would be incredibly helpful.

This would be so helpful! I recently changed a preventive and it would be good to be able to see the date started, etc.

I take Nurtec as an abortive but also as a preventative. As a preventative, i take it every other day. I don’t find any way to track this.

You can record all of your treatments in the Health tab of the RECORDS section in the app. The information recorded there will appear on your doctor’s report.
Also you can use the Migraine Impact Calendar to add your medication day. Tap on the relevant day in the calendar to add your medication.

Currently, in the Record tab, I can only record medication as part of an attack. I’d like to record medication independent of an attack so I can record preventative medication like a monthly injection. I do see the treatment option in the Health tab, but it doesn’t show on the calendar.

I agree with Ashley Reinhard’s suggestion. We don’t have a complete picture otherwise.

Hi Ashley, you can use the HEALTH tab of the RECORDS section to record all of your treatments and make them visible for your doctor. Also in the Migraine Impact Report you can tap on anyday to add a medication.
