If you or someone you know has migraine, you'll understand how painful and debilitating it can be. The pain of migraine is real, and has a serious impact on all aspects of a sufferer's life.
Migraine attacks may last for several days and in many cases, the acute attack only responds to treatment when it is combined with lying down and trying to sleep in a dark room. Activities - both professional and personal - often have to be cancelled unexpectedly, which may lead to feelings of guilt towards colleagues and family members. Migraine is triggered by certain food components, alcohol, irregular meals, a disturbed sleeping pattern, etc.. All of this can seriously influence a person's wellbeing.
The MIDAS (MIgraine Disability Assessment) Questionnaire was put together to help you measure the impact your headaches have on your life and to communicate this more effectively with your doctor.
