Achy - Headache Tracker

I love this app. It's straightforward, easy and you can tell it was designed by someone who gets headaches. Since using it I've realized my migraines are coming in 4-5 day batches every 2-3 months. Just wanted to mention a possible bug? I tried going back and editing a previously saved entry to add pain areas for back of the head, since my headache was still in progress. But then it didn't save areas for the front of the head. So I went back and reselected all pain areas (back of head and front) - but it still was only saving back of the head. I tried a few times. I didn't check to see if this happens for front of head or other edits like Medication. I don't think that should deter anyone from using this app!It's so simple to use while you're in absolute agony and for my needs (frequency) it is fantastic.

I have a history of episodic migraines that started over 20 years ago. I know the pre-migraine symptoms , the triggers and take sumatriptan which works. Within the last few months, I have been having headaches that are not migraines. There are no common trigger points and could be primary or secondary headaches. I found the Achy app and it is exactly what I needed!! I’m able to track the severity and duration of my headaches, as well as symptoms and triggers and add my own notes. By doing so, I’m already creating a log of key points to consider when differentiating the headaches. This information will be very beneficial to share with my doctor.

I found this app through a Reddit thread and decided to give a try to better track my migraines. I’ve only used it to track one migraine so far but I really liked the the simplicity of the app. Very user-friendly and I like that I can customize symptoms and other factors to fit my experience. I like that I can keep a detailed record of my migraines without feeling overwhelmed by app features. Looking forward to what I can learn from this data.
