Migraine diary
A monthly grid taking about fifteen seconds a day, an attack detail sheet for the bad ones, and an appointment summary built backwards from the four figures a clinician asks for.

Print at 100% scale rather than "fit to page". All are laid out for A4 and print fine on US Letter. Black and white is fine — the colour is structure, not information.
A monthly grid taking about fifteen seconds a day, an attack detail sheet for the bad ones, and an appointment summary built backwards from the four figures a clinician asks for.
Start here if you have no tracking habit yet.
The four numbers, a treatment-history table, the questions worth asking, and a box for what was decided before you leave the building.
Fill this in the week before a neurology appointment.
A baseline box, six weekly rows, and a prompt to record anything else that changed during the test — which is what usually produces a false result.
Use it when testing one suspected trigger.
What you want during an attack, what you need people not to do, where things are, and who to contact. Filled in on a good day so nobody has to ask.
For the fridge, if you live with someone.
A letter to send the form tutor before the meeting, and a plan written to be pinned up in the office and read in fifteen seconds by whoever is on duty.
For a parent asking a school to write it down.
Five sections that turn an unpredictable condition into four specific, cheap requests, including the paragraph saying what you are not asking for.
For asking an employer for adjustments in writing.
These are records, not diagnoses. Anything they seem to show belongs in a conversation with your GP or neurologist.
Print them, photocopy them, email them, hand them out — at home, in a waiting room, in a school office, or from your own resources page. No permission needed, no attribution required, no licence to read.
One ask: link to this page rather than re-uploading the file. A copy on another domain quietly goes stale the next time a form or a guideline changes, and this page is always the current version. If your organisation can't link out, re-hosting is fine too — just leave the footer on, so whoever finds it can get to the up-to-date one.

The app does the same job in under a minute a day, adds up the four numbers for you, and records the barometric pressure automatically — the one thing paper can't.
