• Inform your employer, teacher, or colleagues about your condition and how it affects you.
• Ask for reasonable accommodations or adjustments, such as flexible hours, breaks, rest areas, lighting options, noise reduction, etc.
• Plan ahead and prioritize your tasks. Try to complete the most important or urgent tasks when you feel well and postpone the less important or non-urgent tasks when you have a migraine attack.
• Seek support from your co-workers, friends, family, or health professionals. They may be able to help you with your work load, provide emotional support, or offer advice or referrals.

Generally speaking, the quick response is “yes” Finding someone with migraines who has no family history of the condition is quite rare.

Migraine headaches are a complex and poorly understood origin. It is because certain neurons in your blood vessels deliver pain messages to your brain that you get headaches. This causes the nerves and blood vessels in your head to become inflamed. Why your nerves do that is unknown.

They aren’t, for the most part. Complicated migraine, hemiplegic migraine, basilar migraine, and to a lesser extent, classic migraine, are all related with a somewhat greater risk for stroke. The statistical risk is based on a patient’s lifetime average risk of stroke, not on a specific headache. Patients with migraines who also have additional stroke risk factors, such as smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, low homocysteine levels, etc., should talk to their doctors about making the necessary lifestyle and prescription modifications.

Many women find that menopause significantly reduces or eliminates their headaches. But many women report a worsening of their headaches or a change in their personalities during the perimenopause, the time before menopause, sometimes with more auras but decreasing headaches. This period of life’s variations in oestrogen and potentially progesterone are virtually probably responsible for all of these events. These effects can be reduced by adjusting oestrogen levels. When perimenopause is thought to be the reason for changes in headache pattern, oestrogen and other hormones can also be examined.

Yes. Children (of any age) who experience frequent fits of weeping and irritability that linger for many hours, possibly accompanied by vomiting or diarrhoea, should be checked for migraines. If one or both parents, other siblings, or close family members also get migraines, be extra cautious. Before anybody considers migraine, these kids will typically have seen several experts investigating for stomach and other issues.
