Every day there are 70,000 Dutch people who lie in bed with a headache. They cannot tolerate light and sound and wait for the painful migraine attack to pass.
Help from the GP
Many people with migraine do not visit their GP, even though the GP can offer help. It is Migraine Week until 7 September. General practitioners, pharmacies and drugstores are offering extra information this week.
Tools
There is the migraine test, for example, to determine whether it concerns migraine attacks or another type of headache. In addition, the pharmacist makes a migraine diary available, in which you can keep track of attacks for a number of months. This can help you to discover a pattern, so that you can prevent or treat your migraine attacks in a more targeted way.
