FAQ
Below are a few frequently asked questions about your stories. For questions about menstrual migraine, please see the Menstrual Migraine FAQ in the Menstrual Migraine Education Center.
I've submitted my story but I don't see it live. Why?
All submitted stories are collected. However, only a few new stories are highlighted each month on the interactive map. Make sure to come back and visit the site to read what other women are sharing about menstrual migraine experiences, or sign up for alerts and we will let you know when new stories are posted.
Will you let me know when my story is on the site?
Featured stories may be posted without your advanced notification. In the future, we hope to be able to send you an e-mail to let you know we are featuring your story on the website. You can also sign up for alerts to be notified when we update the site.
Why is there a delay in posting my story?
Submitted stories are collected and a select few are highlighted each month on the interactive map. Since only 15 stories are featured each month, there may be a delay in seeing your story.
Why does my story seem different than the one I submitted?
Every attempt is made to keep your story as close to your original submission as possible. Stories may be edited for length, consistency and content (all mentions of brand/product names are removed from published stories, including both prescription and over-the-counter medications).
Remember, only your healthcare professional can make a diagnosis of menstrual migraine. If you have any questions about your condition, please consult your healthcare professional.
