Before I became self-employed, my employer was not very tolerant of my lost time due to migraines. I was a para-legal and they kept me out of court at least 1 day a week. I had to do a lot of night work to make up my time because court cases just don't wait.

You should really talk to you doc about meds that are preventative, and not treating the migraine once you get them. Also, if you haven't already, you might consider allergy testing to see if there are food triggers for your migraines. There are certain foods that do trigger migraines in some people.

I posted about a book called Heal your Headache that has some good information in it that you may want to find and read. It's a great book for chronic headache/migraine sufferers.
