All right, so we know we’re supposed to see a doctor and go to our follow-up appointments.  But how do we make sure those appointments are really worthwhile?  How do we make sure we’re communicating well with our doctor, and that she’s communicating well with us?  How do we prepare for an appointment, and how to we integrate what we’ve learned after the appointment is over?

Your Tips: Out for the Day

12

Now depending on how chronic your headaches or other symptoms may be, a day out of the house may seem like an ordinary thing or perhaps a great challenge.  Some of you reading this only have the very occasional migraine attack.  Others have regular though not frequent phases of cluster headache attacks.  Others may have headache symptoms all the time.

So taking all that into account, here’s the question.  How do you prepare for a day out of the house?  What do you take with you?  Do you plan ahead to eat at certain times or stop and rest every once in a while?  What do you put in the car, or in a backpack or purse?  Is there anything you plan to buy along the way?  What plans or items have been the biggest help to you?

Think about this too – what do you bring in case of a migraine or headache attack, and what do you bring that may help you avoid a headache or migraine attack?

So here’s my question:

During a migraine attack, many people want to get in a dark room.  So – how do you make that happen?  How do you block light in a room?  Or how do you find a dark place at work or at school?

Anything related to the topic of finding darkness is great.  We look forward to hearing your tips!  Comment below, and feel free to share on Facebook and Twitter too!
