Fitbit advice for a Migraine sufferer

[WellTodayGirl]

Does any migraine sufferer use a fitbit?

My old one has expired and I am looking to replace it. I can't decide between the fitbit luxe and the fitbit Charge 5.

So I am wondering if any fellow migraine sufferer uses one and what their experience of it is. I'm a bit concerned that they both promote multi colours and bright screens.

I am sure you will understand that I am a bit apprehensive about this.

Hi there, I just got one at Christmas and went for the inspire 2 simply because it isnt to flashy/ colourful on its screen. So I can well understand why the thought is daunting. If you do get one of those models I would be interested to hear how you get on with it.

Thank you Folklady for your answer. It's difficult isn't it? I just don't want a flashing device on my wrist. I tried the Apple watch but I found it horrible with the lurid coloured rings. I had to send it back. How have you got on with the inspire?

[Folklady in reply to WellTodayGirl]

It's fine with regard to triggering migraine. But it is not an all singing and dancing one but that is fine for me. I really got it for the sleep tracking because sleep, whether I sleep too much or too little affects my migraines. But to be honest it is not as good as I had hoped. It is really good as a prompt to drink more water and be more active though.

I think that's all I need too really. Although the water thing, as a migraine sufferer I drink tonnes of the stuff anyway. It's hard to be active isn't it when you are a migraine sufferer?

[Folklady]

Yes, there is nothing like a migraine stopping you in your tracks. Actually I take it back what I said about the sleep tracking on the inspire 2 as it has been really pretty good lately. I think I am just getting to grips with it.

Ah, that's interesting Folklady. It maybe that I need to consider the Inspire 2 now as well. Thank you
