The other day I was at work, at my desk, and around 2pm I had to go home I could NOT HANDLE my migraine. I haven't had one that bad in years. I felt it coming on all morning and drank a bunch of water and took a double dose of aspirin in attempts of cutting it off before it began. but NO LUCK. I could barely open my eyes in the end, all senses were on overload.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? I've never had to leave work before....

Hi @Raindrops

I think many people suffering from migraines can relate. I will tag a few people to see if they have any advice to share.

Have you had to leave work because of a migraine? What did your coworkers or manager say? Do you take anything? What do you do to get rid of your migraines?

Share your experiences and advice!

Take care,

Hi @Raindrops

Yes, I consistently have to leave work. If I think I will get a migraine, I will actually work from home knowing that I may need to have a liedown in the middle of the day. Some times I'm honestly our the whole day. It really can be debilitating.

I hope it doen't continue to happen to you!
