We learned as elementary students that the best way to be ready for an emergency is through planning and practice. My migraine bag is based on that principle. A migraine bag is a pre-packed bag that prepares you for a migraine attack.

Coping with a migraine is difficult for both the migraineur and their loved ones even in the best of circumstances. Loss of vision and confusion can make simply finding and taking medication to stop the attack an impossible task. My migraine bag is a unique way of dealing with the incapacitation a migraine often brings, to make coping during an attack easier and less stressful.

My blog post gives a detailed list of items you may want to consider for a migraine bag and why they might be important to you and your family. The list contains ideas for personal items as well as items for those you may be caring for during an attack.

Although a migraine might not be an emergency, practicing a few times with your family and the special supplies in your bag will help them remember and automatically react in a helpful manner when a real attack hits.

Migraine bags may be specialized for home and away, and some migraineurs may want to keep one packed in more than one place.
