Advice?
I’ve (F, 22) been getting hemiplegic migraines with aura since I was 11 years old. It starts with the vision problems, then the headaches, then the numbing. Usually I take an Aleve and sleep it off, and it’s gone in 4-6 hours. I get them usually once every 3 months, occasionally one 3 days after the initial attack.
I started a new job last week and my commute is around 45 minutes to an hour. I’ve been stressing out about getting a migraine in that time period. I’ve gotten sumatriptan prescribed, and it still doesn’t work very quickly (takes 5 hours). Any advice for dealing with migraines at work?
