Switching from one medication to another, or adding a new medication to your treatment plan, may be necessary throughout your treatment journey for migraine.

If you are experiencing ongoing symptoms, intolerable or unpleasant side effects, or even new-to-you symptoms, it may be time to discuss changing your treatment plan with your doctor or care team.

If you have modified your treatment plan, when did you know it was time to try a new medication? Share your experiences and advice for others in the comments below.

Sometimes you just want your neurologist or headache specialist to ask how you’re REALLY doing, or you want them to check in on something you mentioned during your last appointment.

Are there any questions or topics you wish your doctor would proactively discuss with you? A conversation you wish they’d start because you’re too nervous or afraid to raise it?

If you feel comfortable sharing, add your questions in the comments section below or read through others.

Living with a health condition can be frustrating and unpredictable even on the "good" days. When the "bad" days become more frequent or even unbearable and you struggle to get out of bed, are forced to cancel plans, or miss work you might decide that you need a little extra support through treatment.

What made you seek treatment, either for the first time or after a length of time without treatment? Share your defining migraine moment in the comments below.

Migraine treatment types and experiences can vary from person to person. You may have tried (or are currently on) acute treatments like triptans, nerve blocks, or acetaminophen. Or perhaps you are currently trying (or have tried) a type of preventive treatment like CGRPs or physical therapy (like prescribed neck/shoulder exercises).

What treatment experiences did you have that did not meet your expectations? In what ways, if any, have you been pleasantly surprised? Share in the comments below. ⬇️

Living with rare disease can not only feel rare in the sense of statistics, but also in building community and finding someone to share experiences with. Finding others that relate can be hard. Have you ever met someone that shares your same rare condition? If so, what was that like for you?

Would love to hear your experience! Feel free to share in the comments below.
