Abstract
Migraine is one of the chronic diseases that threatens people by reducing their health-related quality of life. In the chapter, we present the results of the research of experiences of women with migraine and we show that the disease fundamentally affects the bio-psycho-social aspects of their life.
When the treatment cannot eliminate the causes of the disease, the disease management and coping strategies of the patients themselves become more significant, as well as various forms of incorporation of the disease into the concept of their own identity and everyday life. We can also conclude that the subjective experience of women with migraine is not at the forefront of doctors' interest.
They almost do not work with it. The communication habits of physicians in their interactions with patients do not provide a sufficient opportunity for reflection of non-medical strategies of disease management.
