Have your Bag Packed for your Next Migraine

May 21st, 2008

It’s a little bit like having the emergency supplies ready for a power failure or having the first aid kit stocked and
ready.  We talked awhile back about having your lists ready in the post How do you Manage Life with Migraines? so that you don’t have to think about what you need when you are in the midst of migraine and can’t think. 

Teri Robert has posted a terrific article on My Migraine Connection this week called MAPP Your Migraine!  MAPP stands for Migraine Action Plan and Pack.  In it, Teri pulls together many of the wonderful resources she has created for migraineurs, including helpful articles and checklists.  In addition to having a treatment plan ready with your doctor, a plan for the emergency room, plans for managing kids or home responsibilities,  and a place set up in your home where you can be quiet, safe and comforted, Teri also recommends that you have a bag packed for travel with everything you might need if you get a migraine away from home.  I say thank you, Teri, and I recommend that you hop on over to My Migraine Connection and read the article!

I also want a backpack built into my jacket like this penguin so I really don’t have to think about it!
