What To Do On Bad Days

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have somewhat determined what is causing these migraines to be so bad just not sure what to do in the mean time. I am due for Botox and Ajovy to take place within days of one another. On top of that there is the weather factor of the barometer changes, heat, and humidity. I am doing my very best to manage through just not sure what else I can do. If anyone has suggestions please do share, thank you.
