Getting Started
Welcome to “Chart Your Course to Relief” a personal headache care tool from the National Headache Foundation. This tool has been developed by experts and headache sufferers alike to help guide people with headache on their personal course to getting relief.
You’ll begin your journey by identifying where you are in this spectrum of headache frequency and impairment, based on the symptoms described.
The goal of this tool is to help you move from the RIGHT side to the LEFT side of the spectrum, so that you can reduce the impact headache is having on your life.
Take a few minutes to answer a series of questions that follow about your personal headache experiences. Based upon your answers to each question, this tool will create a profile for you that matches you to resources that fit your situation. These resources will fill up your own personal headache “backpack” to take with you on your course to relief.
As your situation changes – if your headache experiences change, for example — come back to update your survey, and your backpack will be updated as well, so that you will always have helpful tools and resources that suit your needs.
