I work in a "cube" farm environment with flourescents overhead. I simply cannot tolerate the lighting. We keep the light that is directly above me "off", this requires that people sitting all around me can tolerate having the lights "off" (some prefer bright lights, other dim). My company has been great to work with me on this.

I have the option of working from home when I'm too sick to come in but still capable of working.

I keep an icepack in the freezer at work and when necessary - I wrap my head in an ice pack.

I keep Imitrex with me at all times (the only thing that will touch my migraines).

My company has been exceptional in trying to assist me with my migraines and it is widely known that it is a major health obstacle for me.
