What’s your migraine goal for next year?
New Year’s resolutions… blah, blah, blah. I’m not giving into that hype this year. But what I ✨ am ✨ choosing to lean into is setting a goal for my migraine journey next year (and I asked a few of my coworkers who live with migraine the same exact question). Here are our answers:
💊 “My goal is to be more gentle on myself! My attacks come when I’m stressed out. I try to avoid taking sumatriptan for it but also I need to be OK with allowing myself to take medications for it.”
📆 “To better track my symptoms and triggers so I can make more migraine-friendly choices in my daily life.”
✏️ “Sending an angry letter to the non-neurologist who denied my neurologist’s second appeal for a CGRP inhibitor and continuing to be open-minded about my treatment options. I’d also like to be more honest with my providers about the pain and new triggers I’ve been experiencing.”
☎️ “I want to be more direct and firm about having my neurologist communicate with my other specialists. It’s been so exhausting trying to connect the dots on my own. I haven’t made as much progress as I would’ve liked in 2022.”
