This issue is being discussed more frequently now than ever. I'm glad to hear you had a good relationship at your last job. What has caused you to leave after investing seven years? Far too often, employers are not educated on working with individuals with invisible conditions or are not interested in investing any time to be educated. Do you feel using the same approach with your new employer would be as effective as it was with your previous one? I understand that making the decision to disclose your illness to an employer is a personal one. Is your migraine disease well-documented by your doctor or specialist? Documentation can be a great tool in helping you to be taken seriously, as well as opening the door to programs that can protect your job and illness-related absences, such as FMLA leave if you are in the US. Here is a link to a forum thread that covers this topic.
