I feel ridiculous that I haven’t contacted my Gp about it over the two years I’ve been having them pretty much once/twice a week but I’m now waiting for a call back.
I’m back at work after wfh due to covid with my sunglasses on which gets comments from every Tom Dick and Harry which is annoying. The migraines are triggered by light - changes to light, flashing light, driving at night with streetlights is next to impossible and my glasses are the only thing that prevents them from going full blown pain in bed for days with the lights off, they are the things keeping me a float at the moment so I’m not going to take them off for no one just because they think I look stupid with them on. I’d say about 75% pain reduction when I wear them.
I’ve had it bad for about two week constantly now; it ruined my holiday last week where I was constantly nauseated from it (I take migrane nausea tablets to control it), working in the dark at home and I feel so bad for the kids having to frequently walk around in a dark house!
Does anyone else suffer and how do you manage your day to day? My manager is making me go in to the office twice a week even though my job can be done from home and I dread the fluorescent lights in there, every week I’m having to brace myself to just accept I’m going to be in pain or feeling heady sick for a few days and it’s getting to the point now where it’s enough to make me want to call it quits.
