I'm self employed so headache or not, I have had to get to work somedays, and often don't know how I made it through a shift. If I was an employee I'm sure there would have been many a day recently I'd have called in sick. I have gone from 1 specialist to another to find an answer for my migraines and feel I am finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel, having taken my latest meds for a month now, I haven't had to take pain killers for 10 days and that's a record for the last year. So......in summary I suggest you keep looking for your answer as yes, unfortunately, your employer might only be sympathetic for so long. Ask to speak to your boss and discuss your concerns too, they might be able to suggest reduced hours for a short period to help you? Good luck.

I have the same problem with my employer. At my last meeting was told to tell the neurologist that migraines are affecting my job too much and we need to try other things.
