How will I know if my migraine treatment is working?

Well-known headache expert Dr. Richard Lipton recently developed the five-question Migraine Treatment Optimization Questionnaire to determine whether an individual's migraine treatment is working well, as shown below. If you answer "no" to any of the first three questions, you may need to treat your migraine earlier, adjust medication doses, or change treatments. If you answer "yes" to all of the questions except the last one, you may wish to add more non-drug therapies to your treatment regimen.

Answer the following questions based on your headaches over the last 4 weeks:Can you quickly return to normal activities after taking your migraine medication? Can you usually count on your migraine medication to relieve pain within 2 hours? Does one dose of medication usually relieve your headache and keep it away for at least 24 hours?

Do you have problems with side effects from your migraine medication? Are you comfortable enough with your medication to plan your daily activities? If your migraine treatment is working well, you will have answered "yes" to all of these questions.

If you answered "no" to any of them, take this quiz with you to your doctor to talk about ways to improve your treatment.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
