Here 5 tips for handling your Migraine in the workplace from healthcentral.com




1)Make changes in your workplace
Make changes that reduce your susceptibility to Migraine triggers. Ask co-workers to go easy on perfume and cologne, don’t consume too much caffeine, drink lots of water, don’t skip meals and use an anti-glare screen on your computer so your eyes don’t have to strain.

2)Be on the alert for early signs of a migraine
Get to know your Migraine patterns so you spot early signs of a Migraine attack. Some people experience irritability, mild pain or nausea prior to a migraine. Take your medication early whenever possible. 60% of Migraineurs have early symptoms and can learn to recognize them.

3)Educate your boss and co-workers about migraines
Educate your boss and co-workers about migraines
Creating understanding and awareness of Migraines and their impact can cultivate support from the people you work with.

4)Recognize when your migraine condition is not under control
If Migraines increasingly make you absent from work, force you to go home early or impair your ability to do your job in any way, then they are probably not under control. Tell your doctor if your Migraines are impacting you in your work. Together you can work on a treatment plan.

5) Be your best advocate
Talk to a doctor about your Migraines and how best to manage them. There are many effective new treatments for Migraines, the newest of which are called triptans. They stop the migrainous process in the brain and quickly relieve the pain and other symptoms, like light sensitivity.
