Migraine Tracker & Diary: MiG

Woke up to a headache this morning and decided I needed to start tracking the details. I found MiG and liked the layout and process of inputting data about a headache attack. The app seems to be a really good starting point for me, possibly the best I’ve found so far. I like how straightforward and clear it is. However (maybe I’m just learning how to use the app still), I’m unsure how to correctly edit an event and tie in related details over time. I’m imagining that I start a “timer” for a headache event when I first start feeling it (or set a rough start time once I remember to do so in the app), then be able to add details to the event as time goes on. So, when I try a relief method, I can log that as an addendum to the event, and then eventually “end” the headache event when I feel “pain free”. Ideally, I would like this data to sync with Apple Health. Symptoms has a headache data field, so whatever data Apple Health can accept, I would like the equivalent parts of that tied into MiG. The same goes for Medications. If I take Advil, I would like to note it in MiG as part of the event, but have that input the data sync automatically to Apple Health. Ideally, this data could sync both directions between MiG and Apple Health, along with some method to edit if there’s a conflict or duplication somehow. So if there were moments I took medication in Apple Health, seemingly unrelated to a headache event, but later realized it might be connected, I could go into MiG, start or edit a headache event, and be able to view data from Apple Health that I could tag as part of the MiG event. I recognize that I’ve only begun using MiG, and these ideas may conflict with the app today or how other users like to use it. So I provide these ideas for consideration. If there’s a forum for feedback and discussion, I would like to engage somehow (I frequently use the Discord app for interaction with a variety of developers, as one option to consider). Wonderful app so far! Please reach out if further discourse is desired. Cheers. Edit: playing around some more, I am seeing the headache data sync both directions with Apple Health, so that’s awesome! You’ve already got that implemented and it seems to work exactly like I was imagining! I think if the medications part could work the same way, that would be fantastic too.

I’ve only been using a few days but I have to say I really like it. It’s %100 free to use unless you absolutely want to buy the pro membership. I currently use the free version and I have the option to track what exact time I have the migraine, the exact TYPE of migraine (+custom setting), where exactly on my face/head/neck I feel it, my symptoms and triggers (+custom symptoms), as well as the medicine I took, what I have done already to try and relieve it, AND if it’s possibly linked to period and or ovulation. Absolutely love this app so far, it has helped me track my migraines so easily and makes my life sooo much easier. -Coming from a 17 year old that has 4+ migraines a week since the age of 11-13.
