Sometimes there are compatibility issues depending on the iOS you have if you are using an apple device. As per previous post, which device are you using? This info is necessary for the solution to be found.

We’ve tested the app pretty extensively, and haven’t heard of this bug. Are you on an iPhone or Android? Do you know which version of the software you are using? We’ll look into it immediately.

Thanks for the feedback.

When will you guys get it? Of all the articles on all the websites, yours is definitely the best. I have recommended it to many people, including all my (many) physicians – some who know little about migraines- but know a lot more now, including the required reading I give them if I choose to work with them. I give it to friends and others who seem to have and interest. Having said that, this article is for the neophyte and should be identified as such. Now I am done being kind. What I am is hopping mad that you would even post such an article.

Having been at it for such a long time, and gone up and down with the ebbs and flows along with the research of the migraine community, there is one thing I can say for sure, I KNOW MY OWN BODY, as do most migraineurs who use this site. I do not ever, ever, overuse medications. In fact, if anything, I underuse medications. I have a migraine almost every day of the year. If it is below a level 5, I deal with it. I do the best I can to function, and know that I have a high tolerance for pain, stick to my regimen of diet, exercise, rest, and sleep, and try not to be depressed that I am alone much of the time, because I cannot go out as much, or do the things others do because of this disease. We all have things to deal with, this is mine. But I do not overuse my meds. Ask my docs.

However, after 43 years and a list of medications that would make your eyes bulge, my body does not tolerate medications the way it did when I was younger. So I am doubly careful to keep meds out of the rebound (MOH) area, because a rebound headache is nothing to sneeze at and if these docs who are conducting these surveys have ever had one, perhaps they would go back to calling them what they are: REBOUND HEADACHES! There is nothing one can do for a rebound headache except wait it out. It is usually at a 7-9 pain level. I use ice, heat, try to sleep, knowing the pain is use going to be there until it isn’t, get up and walk my dog once a day, eat if I can, take my regular meds, and wait it out. It usually takes 2 to 2 1/2 days. At the end of all this I am physically exhausted. It takes about 3 days to get my strength back and back into some kind of daily routine. It is not fun, it is not easy, and it is not something I look to have by taking medication absent-mindedly or because I “feel a little pain in my head.” Now that would be stupid.

It is not some politically correct sounding “Medication Overuse Headache” which puts the responsibility and cause right back on the patient and makes them the victim of their own migraines, which believe me, they don ‘t need. HOW DARE YOU! Here we are trying to get out of this mode, and you, the migraine community, are throwing it back on us! I thought we were done with this topic, and now it being thrown back in our faces!

I am sure you did not intend for this to be taken in this fashion, but perhaps another read through will give you some more perspective on what migraneurs are living with.

I cannot help it if my internal system rejects a medication that I have been carefully using, per direction, prescribed by my migraine specialist doc to get rid of the pain in my head. My system is very sensitive. i cannot tolerate the pain all the time. I have to give some of this back to the “migraine specialists” in the past who put me on some of these “medications” that did not do much for my migraines, but did tear up my insides quite nicely, even when I faithfully reported I was having trouble, nothing was done.

In the end I am my own advocate, and I cannot rely on the medical community to do anything more than give me the information, and work with me to try and find solutions that work for me and my body. I get angry from time to time. I do the best I can. The medical community works hard researching new information, and our advocates, like this website I know work very hard to bring us the best information. Everyone is doing the best they can. I know this and I thank you all for it.

But please, please, keep out the old stuff. And call a spade a spade. Thanks for listening.
