No Headache |
| 1 |
Headachy. Minimal, if any pain. But is there, just waiting to get worse. |
| 2 |
Some pain. But can function. |
| 3 |
Starts to interfere with work.
|
| 4 |
Can still be mobile, but hurts. (rubbing head a lot. Dimming lights. Pull out the sunglasses. |
| 5 |
It's better if I'm in bed at this point. But I can still carry on a conversation. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Really bad, but if I have to I can concentrate on something for a very short bit of time.
Pain does become much worse after the mental activity. |
| 8 |
Pain is all-consuming. Mental activity impossible. |
| 9 |
Agony. Tossing and turning - flipping pillow (to find cool spot). Kicking bedding. Can't take care of self. |
| 10 |
I reserve this number for times when I am in such agony I'd rather be dead - as long as it'll make the pain stop |
| + |
means I'm nausious and can occur at any level |
**NOTE: I made some edits to this when I posted it to a migraine list last November. Even came up with something for *6*,
but lost it along with 2 months worth of email. If anyone has it, please send it to me! Thanks.
