Nothing in MigraineMe is set in stone. You can come back hours, days, or weeks later and change anything in a migraine entry. This article shows you how.
You will use this all the time, so it is worth a read.
These steps are the same on iPhone and Android.
When you would want to do this
- You saved a migraine while it was still going on, and now you want to add the time it ended.
- You remembered later that you also took another pill, or that you noticed a warning sign that morning.
- You picked the wrong day or the wrong time by mistake.
- You want to add a note about how it went after a doctor's visit.
- You want to remove something you ticked by accident.
All of this is fine. The app is built for it.
The quick way to end an open migraine
If the migraine is still marked as ongoing, the Home screen shows a Migraine in progress card at the top, with the time it started. Tap End now on that card and you are done. The same card has round quick buttons for adding pain, symptoms, medicines and more while it is running, and a Full log button that opens the full wizard.
How to find the migraine you want to change
- Open MigraineMe.
- At the bottom of the screen, tap the Journal tab.
- You now see your entries, with the most recent at the top. Migraines are the pink cards.
- Scroll until you see the migraine you want to edit.
- On the card, tap the small ⋯ menu, then tap Edit.
What happens when you tap Edit
The migraine opens in the same step-by-step wizard you used to log it, with everything you entered already filled in. You can change any step: timing, symptoms, pain and the head map, prodromes, triggers, medicines, reliefs, locations, activities, postdrome, missed activities and notes.
Move between steps with Back and Next at the bottom.
Changing the start or end time
- On the first step, When did it happen?, tap Started or Ended.
- The date and time picker appears. Pick the right moment.
- Times in the future are not allowed.
Adding a single item quickly
If you only want to add one thing, you do not need the whole wizard:
- On the migraine's card in the Journal, tap + Add.
- Choose what to add, for example a pain entry, a symptom or a postdrome.
- Fill in the small screen that opens and save. The new item is attached to that migraine.
Saving your changes
This is important.
- After you have made your changes, tap Next until you reach the Review Log screen.
- Tap the purple Update Log button at the bottom.
- The wizard closes and your edits are stored.
If you leave the wizard without tapping Update Log, your changes will not be kept.
Deleting a migraine entirely
If a migraine was logged by mistake and you want to remove it:
- Tap the Journal tab.
- Find the entry in the list.
- Tap the small ⋯ menu on its card, then tap Delete.
- A box pops up titled "Delete entry?". Tap Delete to confirm.
The entry is gone. If you delete the wrong one by accident, you will need to add it again from scratch.
If you cannot find your entry
If the migraine you are looking for is not at the top of the list:
- Scroll down further. The list goes back through all your history.
- Check the date you entered. If you accidentally set it to last month, it will be far down the list.
- If you really cannot find it, it might not have been saved. Open the Log tab and start a new entry.
Why it is safe to edit
Editing a migraine does not break anything. MigraineMe simply updates the entry with your new information. Your patterns, insights and risk score will adjust to match. There is no harm in correcting yourself days or weeks later. Real life is messy, and the app understands that.
