Visual Migraine Language®
To help our users, we developed an iconographic library to allow them to recognize, understand and remember all the
factors that can affect their condition faster, using visual cues. This library is what we call the Visual Migraine
Language® (VML) and has been developed in collaboration with world-leading specialists.
VML application
All VML icons must be applied following the same rules as other Curelator visual languages. For more information, please read about iconography in Fundamentals.
Corporate iconography
All icons are designed by our Design team and follow one set of design rules to make them consistent.
Always use our corporate icons and in the event a new icon is needed please ask the Design team.

Aura
Aura ocurred for this headache. Aura are specific symptoms that occur just before the pain of a migraine attack, usually taking 5-20 minutes to develop and lasting less than 60 minutes. Aura includes strange sensations which are often, but not always, visual such as: blind spots, blindness in half of your visual field in one or both eyes, seeing zigzag patterns, seeing flashing lights, skin prickling, feeling of weakness, hallucinations (seeing things that aren't really there). Although they may be alarming, aura are not dangerous.

Not feeling right - Female
Sudden changes in mood or emotion are often associated with the onset of an attack. These non-specific changes can be difficult to identify and may accompany a sense of "Not feeling right" prior to the onset of pain and associated symptoms. Recording this information can help you find out if this is a reliable indicator of an attack about to occur.

Sleep duration. The amount of sleep that individuals require is very variable. It is thought that less sleep than usual, and in some people more than usual, triggers migraine attacks, so we ask you to record how much sleep you have each night.

Beer
Beer. Alcohol is known to cause headaches, especially if taken in higher than usual amounts. This may be because alcohol causes dehydration and/or because of certain chemicals in alcoholic drinks. Some people believe that any alcohol can trigger their migraine, while others think that only certain products, such as red wine, are triggers. To try to find out if alcohol is a trigger for you, and if so what type, record the amount and type of alcoholic drinks you drink each day.

Chocolate
Chocolate is thought by some people to trigger their migraine, possibly because it contains substances such as tyramine that affect blood vessels around the brain. However it may be that the desire to eat (more than usual amounts of) chocolate is caused by other changes, such as hormones in women, that are the underlying migraine trigger. So tracking how much chocolate you eat compared to 'usual' so we can try to find out if chocolate is a trigger for you.

Tyramine
Tyramine has been touted as a trigger for a long time. It can found in protein-rich foods (proteins are strings of amino acids) that have been processed or left at room temperature: cured or leftover meats, some cheeses, some plants that lie around before being eaten (e.g. avocado), etc. Tyramine content in these kinds of foods can vary greatly depending on freshness, processing etc.

Nitrates
Nitrates are common in vegetables but health benefit appears to outweigh risk. Foods that contain nitrates as a preservative have been linked to migraine and include cured or deli meats, hot dogs and bacon.

Aspartame is also a commnly mentioned trigger of migraines. It is a common sweetener, often used in drinks and food especially those labelled sugar-free or low in sugar. These include: diet soft drinks and juices, some yoghurts, breakfast cereals and meal replacement products.

Menstruation
Many women have migraine attacks that are related to their hormonal cycle: usually attacks occur around the time of menstrual flow but can also occur mid-cycle. The menstrual cycle is thought to be the strongest single trigger but even so the relationship may be unclear because of attacks at other times or cycles during which no attacks occur. Record your menstrual cycles to find out if this is a trigger for you.

Menopause Side Effects
Menopause can be a difficult time for women with migraine. The irregularity of periods can make it harder to cope with migraines as they may be more difficult to predict. Also the symptoms experienced at menopause (hot flushes and night sweats) may result in disturbed sleep and add to stress levels thereby increasing the likelihood of experiencing a migraine.

Sexual activity
Sexual activity has been reported both to help (an ongoing) migraine, possibly by release of endorphins at orgasm, while in other people sexual activity can trigger a migraine.
