Walton Centre Head Ache Diaries
Hello I was wondering if someone could help. I am completing my headache diaries (Walton Centre) and there are 3 categories. Clear, mild/moderate and severe. My question or rather a concern is this. Whilst I may have had a migraines and or headache which had now gone, the diary only gives one subsequent option which is clear. Now whilst I might be clear from a headache I am often exhausted after a migraine etc but as I don’t have a headache anymore, recording a clear day doesn’t feel accurate, can anyone advice as there is a lot riding on the outcome. Also stating moderate head ache seems to somehow trivialise how bad they can be but I only use severe for an actual migraine. So my ‘moderate’ headaches are actual still debilitating, but again the WC diaries aren’t really appropriate.
Hi
- I was able to find the diary you're completing online, and I can see how the instructions would be unclear if you're experiencing symptoms other than head pain. Did a doctor/provider ask you to complete this? If so, you might be able to get some clarification from them if they'd like details about the other symptoms you're having. You could also write down the symptoms of each migraine on a separate piece of paper, since there doesn't seem to be a ton of extra room on the diary you're using. Do either of those options seem feasible? - Cody (Team Member) 
Happy new year! How are you doing? I'm glad you've been able to pursue care at a headache center. Did you ever clear up the confusion surrounding their headache diary? I am curious to know what you did with the rest of your entries, and how the experience went over all. Are there next steps to this process? Feel free to share more if you'd like; I'm sure it would be a benefit to others here. Wishing you less pain and more peace in 2025! -Melissa, team member
