I often get 20 or more each month. Right now I can't get work because I constantly have to phone in sick. Who would hire me? I wouldn't. I've suffered from frequent migraine since I was 7 years old. At times I've been able to "drug and go" -- take pain medication and still be able to function at work (although not my best work) but as I get older, I find the nausea getting worse to the point where I can no longer "drug & go". Movement of any kind during a migraine is unbearable and anti-nausea meds don't help. I'm at my wits end and don't know where to go or what to try. Most of my migraines are triggered by weather and changes in weather and there is no way to change Mother Nature -- at least not in the short term. On the bright side, I can predict storms by the degree of pain I'm experiencing. The worst part is not being able to make any plans because chances are good I will have to cancel. I'm really missing out on life. My life has been put on hold due to migraine. I often get 20 or more each month. Right now I can’t get work because I constantly have to phone in sick.
