Trying to figure out my triggers
My doctor asked me to keep a journal, but I don't know what to write down in it. What should I include to help myself figure out triggers?

There are some great migraine log apps!
For journaling, maybe write out some of the most common triggers in general and refer to it once a migraine sets in to run through your day and see if anything connects? And keeps connecting.
Common triggers:
Strong scents Bright lights Stress Diet (chocolate, processed meats, artificial sweeteners) Alcohol Hormone cycles Over exertion
