@faithann64 Like @migizii mentioned, have you been able to figure out what the triggers are for your migraines? I don't get them very often, but for me, stress plays a big part.
Wow, with regards to what HR has to say. Are you being asked to provide documentation from your medical team? In my last full-time job, HR would put out a call to employees asking for donations of vacation time, for a specific person, if they needed it. Does your company do that? Is there any part of your job that can be done remotely?
Are you keeping track of all your symptoms to help narrow this down?

Thank you for mentioning stress, Ginger. The stress of Dr. after Dr., and meds eventually not working, fans the flames of migraine creating stress. Feeling pressure to perform a job, or possibly lose it, fuels the fire.
Lifestyle change and managing stress are huge components. Since I've learned my triggers, got off migraine meds, and learned how to manage pain, I've put myself back in control. I have greatly reduced migraine, if not eliminated.
Great advice on HR for @faithann64. I have never heard of pto donations. That's awesome! I hope it helps people who really need it.

Have not figured out what triggers them . When my migraines started i passed out on 3 different ocaasions within a week . I was taken by Ambulance and admitted into hospital and of course had a bunch of test's. The ( Doctor's) could not figure out why i had passed out. Since then i have 3-5 migraines a week and constant headaches .And yes they(HR) want documentation to see if this is going to be an ongoing issue. And my job cannot be remotley. (Correctional Officer ). And yes i keep track of all my symptoms and still cannot figure out what triggers them ??? Again i recently had CT with Contrast and again normal ! I've tried just about everything my neuro said he's thrown at me with no results. HR even told me to think about maybe to sign up for disability ????? That process would be never ending !
