If you sometimes have to go to the ER for a Migraine, prepare the forms discussed above and keep copies of them in your pack. Also keep a copy of all of all the medications you take in your pack. Anyone who treats you will need this information. It can also be helpful to make a copy of the front and back of your insurance card so they don't have to take the time to do that at the hospital.

Summary:
All of us with Migraine disease share a two-part goal:
-
Reduce the frequency and severity of our Migraine attacks as much as possible.
-
Abort those we do get as quickly as possible and reduce their impact on our lives.
MAPPing our Migraines goes a long way toward improving our quality of life by making those Migraines we do get easier to cope with. A good MAPP also makes things easier on our families. Try it. You'll be amazed how much difference a bit of organization and planning can make!
