An attack can include more than head pain. Prodrome, pain, postdrome, and the return to baseline may all matter when you are trying to explain how long migraine affects your life.
Build a simple timeline
- First warning sign
- Pain start and peak
- Medication and meaningful relief
- Recovery and return-to-baseline time
Compare your own times with the typical ranges in the migraine duration calculator. Several timelines are more informative than one unusually long or short day.
