The community has a section called Articles. These are short summaries of migraine news and research from trusted sources, such as headache journals and migraine charities, on subjects like triggers, sleep, medication, food, and coping with bad days. Each one has a Read full article link to the original.
They are free. You can read as many as you like. New ones are added every day.
Opening the articles
This is the same on iPhone and Android.
- Open MigraineMe.
- Tap the small people icon at the top-right of the screen. The community opens.
- Along the top you will see tabs: Practitioners, Articles, Forum and Blogs. Tap Articles.
The sub-tabs
Just below, you will see three smaller tabs, plus a heart:
- For You: articles picked for you based on your triggers and what you have logged. This is a good place to start.
- Latest: the newest articles, with the most recent ones first.
- Browse: articles grouped by topic, like "Sleep", "Stress", or "Food". Tap a topic to see only the articles in it.
- The heart at the end of the row shows only the articles you have saved.
Tap whichever sub-tab you like. You can switch as often as you want.
Opening an article
- Scroll through the list.
- Tap an article that interests you. It opens in full.
- Use your finger to scroll down through the text.
- When you are done, tap the small back arrow at the top-left to return to the list.
The text is sized for easy reading. If you have made the system text larger on your phone, the articles will follow that setting.
Saving an article to read later
If you find an article you would like to come back to:
- Look for the small heart icon, either on the article card or inside the article itself.
- Tap it. The heart turns filled-in.
- The article now appears when you tap the heart at the end of the sub-tab row.
The heart doubles as a small "me too". The number next to it shows how many readers have tapped it.
To remove a saved article later, tap the heart again. It empties out.
Sharing an article
If you would like to send an article to a friend, your partner, or your doctor:
- Open the article.
- Tap the share icon at the top.
- Pick how you want to send it (Messages, WhatsApp, Mail, and so on).
- A link to the article will be added to your message.
The other person can tap the link to read it, even if they do not have MigraineMe.
How often new articles arrive
New articles are added every day. If you check the Latest tab every few days, you will usually find something new.
When there is something new for you in the community, a small number appears on the people icon at the top of your home screen. That is your gentle nudge that there is something to read.
If an article makes you uneasy
Articles come from trusted sources, but everyone is different. If something does not sit right with you, simply close it and read something else. None of the articles are medical advice.
Happy reading.
