And I think the patients that come to see me, they describe the headaches they associate with their menstrual cycle, their seasonal allergies and stress.
And really what they're telling me is what they're explaining as each one of their particular triggers.
And what it points to is the idea that a lot of chronic migraine patients, because they're dealing with symptoms so frequently, will sort of rationalize these situations away to make them less of a problem.
So when you come to them and you say, hey, I want you to spend some time actually putting all of this puzzle together, usually what you'll see is somewhere on the order of 30 to 90 days.
And if they're really committed to it, they'll see the opportunity to really understand what tends to set them off.
But they really need some time to do that.
And I think 30 to 90 days is the way to go.
Yeah, I think the first step is to identify whether it's modifiable or not.
So if a glass of red wine always sets off your headache or migraine attack, is stop drinking the wine.
So that's a modifiable factor.
So that's the first piece of the puzzle is to identify whether they are something they can change or something they can't.
Then if it's something they can't change, then we need to really start looking at non-modifiable things.
Your menstrual cycle, the barometric weather, the fact that every spring the trees are going to dump pollen, then we really need to create an environment where we are fortified knowing that that will eventually happen.
So having strategies from your prescriber becomes so important.
It's one of the biggest goals that I have for the show that we do together is that maybe somewhere, somebody who's a part of those communities hears what we're talking about and says, you know, this does affect me, my family, my neighbor.
And so we're going to tell them they have permission to go seek that help, to let us know that something's wrong, that they're having issues in their life, that they're having headaches, and they'd really like to find out what's going on and ways to manage it.
And to have all of the kind of conversations we've had here on the show in that doctor's office, you know, around their particular situation.
And so that I think is probably the biggest piece for those communities about why it's so important to come forward.
It's because you're allowed to.
It's because we have systems that really can support you.
