Migraines are more than just a headache—they can be severe, causing nausea, light sensitivity, and intense pain that makes it difficult to work. If you suffer from migraines, taking time off to rest and recover is important. Most employers understand that migraines can come on suddenly and may not require a long explanation if you need to call in sick. Some workplaces may offer accommodations like remote work or flexible schedules if migraines are a recurring issue. It’s also important to communicate with your healthcare provider about managing migraines and potentially reducing their frequency, which can help you minimize work disruptions in the long term. Ultimately, ensuring your health comes first allows you to return to work refreshed and better able to perform your duties.
