Build a Migraine Headache Log That Boosts Your Rating

| Discuss on Reddit

Lock in a stronger migraine rating with a hard, dated headache log—start today. Every attack you get from now on, jot the date, start/stop times, symptoms, meds taken, whether you had to lie down, and any time lost from work or daily tasks. Keep it consistent for at least 30 days, then upload the log as evidence to your open claim on VA.gov. VA rates migraines by frequency and impact, so clear, time-stamped entries speak louder than memory at a C&P exam.
