Do Any Of As If You Had The Flu With Migraines?

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

For years I thought I was subject to achy viruses. Everything aches to the bones! Then one day it occurred to me that my husband never caught the "illness" once. We were married 53 years. I get a headache or typical left-side pressure with these episodes. My migraines don't always follow the aura-bad headache pattern, but they are almost always on the left side and my vision blurs or loses acuity.

A MyMigraineTeam Member

I get that too. For me it is from my medication Sumatripan. It only happens when I take it.

Lost Job Because Of Migraine?

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Pemberton, MN

Hey guys. I realize I haven't been on in forever and a day, but I have a question. Have any of you been fired because of your migraines? Have you been able to take any actions against the employer for not accommodating your requests during a migraine? I had a weird and stupid occurrence, and I haven't been able to snap out of the depression/anxiety/panic because of it. I was hired for a position that I loved and was VERY qualified for. They allowed me flexibility to go into a dark room or home… read more

Ugh--Topamax suppressed my bone marrow. Have you considered Trokendi? Its Topamax in a different formulation. They have a copay program that might help too.
