My experience-Migraines and Work
Hello All! This is going to be coming from a place of internal frustration and feeling stuck and useless.
I have been off work for three years after a traumatic pregnancy/birth and death of my son. I do not need to tell you how low that put my mental and physical health. I decided to take some time off work after that happened. Beforehand I was able to work a full time job, with just episodic migraines that were managed by meds. However after three years of stress and changes to my body (hormonal I assume) my migraines are at a debilitating level.
They have increased to 20-28 migraine days a month, whether it's a full blast can't function through the pain one, a silent one or the never ending cycle of feeling one coming on, having it for days (intractable) and days of the post handover. I'm sure depression, stress and anxiety contribute but I have also been able to determine that weather changes are my most uncontrollable trigger. If rain is coming I am down for the count.
I feel I'm doing all I can at the moment as far as medical intervention, botox, monthly shots, a daily preventive and rescue meds. And though the botox takes away a lot of the pain there is still a persistent daily headache and migraine. The botox also wears off about three weeks before my next dose. So in those three weeks I'm a mess. An in pain, feeling like a failure for not being able to do the things mess.
I've done changes to my diet, made my home a cool dark place where light doesn't reach, cut out sooo many things and still here I am.
My question to you guys is what in the world do you do for work? How do I navigate something I do not have control over happening to me in a work place.
I was hired into a completely remote position that I was so happy to start, I made it 4 weeks before the anxiety of needing to call off for a whole week after calling off the week before did me in. Looking at a screen for hours or having an earpiece on to talk to people are huge triggers and my work experience up until I took time off was in HR/ retail management. Lots of talking and lots of screens.
I thought a job at home where I can make the accommodations I needed would be enough for me to work through them and it simply wasn't.
Not working isn't an option, I attempted to get disability for this at the advice of my doctor. And that's a beyond long shot in my State.
So, what kind of work do you all do? Any advice or commisery is welcome.
Thank you in advance!
