Any natural tips for dealing with migraines, especially when you are at work?

Hi @ srz580,

Working with migraine disease can be challenging. There are a number of devices on the market that help to stop and prevent attacks. Here is general information on these devices and then more specific; https://migraine.com/devices/.

Cefaly; https://migraine.com/cefaly/
Nerivio; https://migraine.com/nerivio/
eNeura sTMS; https://migraine.com/eneura-stms/
Gammecore; https://migraine.com/gammacore-sapphire/

I have both Cefaly (this can be used for both prevention and to stop an attack and there is a money back guarantee) and Nerivio. I use Cefaly each night to help prevent attacks, and Nerivio as an acute treatment to stop a migraine attacks.

I'll also share our complementary therapy section with you here; https://migraine.com/complimentary-and-alternative-therapies/

Love to know what you think!

If they are interfering with your ability to do your work over a longer period, I'd suggest talking to your doctor, HR department, and Supervisor about enrolling in the FMLA Family Medical Leave) program. It can outline that you need a quiet dark place until medications work, or you may miss days unexpectedly... talk it out with your doctor. With FMLA you don't get paid for time missed, and can't use it until all your other time (vacation/sick) is used up, but it does protect you from a boss that thinks your malingering.
Hope you are seeing a neurologist or headache specialist? They can help, many are open to complementary and alternative therapies -- I just got a second Physical Therapy referral, wish they would cover yoga. Oh well..
