Summary
As we've seen, there's far more to an attack than just the headache phase. Not all Migraineurs experience all phases, and those who do don't necessarily experience them with each attack. If it all sounds unpredictable — it is. For those who suffer from Migraine, there can be great advantage to learning about these phases of a Migraine and how to recognize them. Once we know about them and learn to listen to our bodies, if we experience prodrome or aura symptoms, we have a better chance of avoiding the headache phase. In addition, there's always an emotional comfort factor to knowing what is causing us to feel depressed or have other symptoms. Once we learn to recognize these symptoms and use them in our Migraine management, we gain a bit more control over Migraine. Any time we can do that, it's a positive move.
