Dealing with frequent migraines and your job?
Does anyone else get frequent migraines causing them to be unable to do their job? I just started have migraines frequently, I think it started when I tried antidepressants a few months ago, but this month i've had two terrible migraines episodes that caused me to miss 4 days of work. The migraines I have are extremely vision impairing, I have a migraine right now actually, I can't see out of my right eye and I can't walk straight or think clearly. It's sort of like an out of body experience, I just feel like fainting.
I think the trigger is the weather changes, I live in vancouver and when get sunny days easily turned down miserable stormy days. But my employer doesn't take me seriously when I say I can't work today because i'm having a terrible migraine.
Are there any other migraine sufferers out there, and how do you guys deal with it while having a job? Are there any disability help for migraine sufferers so my employer takes me seriously?
