Help with Migraine Diary?

Smurfy gave you good advice on the food trigger diary.

I maintain an excel spreadsheet to record my head pain; the columns I include are date, headache (Y/N); level (0 - 10 or 0 to 5 depending on your neurologist); when it started/duration; med(s) taken and quantity; and any notes you may want to include. I wrap the text on several of the columns..especially the notes.

I take this to every appointment as well as a sheet where I've compiled the data; since I report on the number of days that I've had a headache having a column that says Y/N makes it easy to count the days. I always have to report on the meds that I've taken and how much, so the quantity is important too. A section on the report asks for any new headache symptom or or pertinent information, so the note section helps a lot.

In the long run, this also helps spot trends and keeps a good drug diary of what works, what doesn't and any side effects that you need to remember.

Good luck,
Janice

Thanks all!  I created a spreadsheet just after posting and it looks like what you all are doing is very close to what I came up with. Looks like I AM on track.
