as someone who used to get really stuck on the concept of what a "normal" amount of headaches is (I know some people will say it's zero, which is true in a sense, but I don't think it's helpful, because the majority of people will experience at least one headache in their lifetime, and no one would go to the doctor for two mild headaches spaced a decade apart), I hope this can help someone else in a similar situation: at 4 headache days a month, the international headache society recommends starting preventative treatment for migraine (if you're getting 4+ "bad headache" days a month, it's probably migraine. there are other things it could be, but statistically? probably migraine).

I wouldn't say less than 4 headache days a month is "normal." but 4 is definitely a lot.

I've seen a lot of people in the notes say "but I get more headache days than that and my doctor told me it wasn't enough to go on preventatives" so: look. I said that was what the IHS recommended. I didn't say that your doctor had read the IHS recommendations. They probably haven't, most doctors (even neurologists who don't specialize in headache) are terrible at treating migraine and getting the appropriate treatment can require a lot of self-advocacy. I didn't really intend for this post to be a practical guide to migraine treatment, it was mainly meant to provide a more objective sense of how many headache days is definitely way too many. As someone who's always been headache-prone, I knew that what I was experiencing was outside the norm, but if I had realized how far outside the norm I was, I probably would have taken it a lot more seriously and my head would probably not hurt so bad right now.

here are the 2024 IHS migraine prevention guidelines I was referring to, if your doctor seems not completely terrible, you can try telling them about these guidelines. I made my post about the 4 days cutoff but this is the full list of reasons they suggest starting preventive treatment (one of which is basically just "the patient feels like they need it"):

- the person has four or more monthly headache days; - migraine has an impact on personal, social, and professional life according to personal patient perception; - optimized acute treatment is ineffective in providing migraine relief; - acute medications are used frequently to treat the attacks.

actually I hate how people will pretend like anyone they they don't like is a no talent hack. Sometimes the worst people are good at stuff. Why do you want no good to come out of their existence. It's weird
