Overview

A headache diary is one of the most useful things to bring to a doctor or neurologist, and this one keeps it simple. Log each attack with when it started and ended, how bad it was, symptoms like aura or nausea, a possible trigger and whether your medicine helped.

Tick the monthly tracker every day, color the trigger tracker to spot patterns with sleep, meals, stress or your period, and fill in the 12-month summary before appointments.
