The Migraine Guy Podcast

Hello pod people!  In this episode of the pod we discuss what it’s like and what you should do before and while you are traveling if you get migraines.  There are a number of factors to plan for as traveling greatly disrupts your daily routine.  Water, food, sleep, temperature, and much more are very important factors that can be thrown out of whack very easily when you travel.  We go over a bunch of tips, and I give some teasers about what is coming up on the pod!  Make sure to subscribe and if you want to help the pod, you can become a Patron at Patreon.com/TheMigraineGuy migraine.com/travel-holiday-survival-guide/ migraine.com/blog/10-tips-migraines-travel/
