I can't believe they...I am so with you on this! I can't believe they would publish something like that. I have FFM (frequent F*ing migraines). I miss waaay too many days of work (even I say so), but I always try to be open with my bosses, about dr's appts, late mornings waiting for imitrex to kick in, days here and there changing meds, you know the drill. At my last job, a girl took the max paid sick leave off for "MIGRAINES" then came in on the first day she wouldn't be paid healthy and fine. Then after the required 2 weeks passed of fulltime regular employment, she would be out again for 26 weeks with "MIGRAINES", and the cycle repeated for almost the entire time i worked there, 8 years. I got put in her group, and it was so hard to work amongst our co-workers. whenever i missed days, they would take their anger on her out on me. Anyway, wish you migraine-free days.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11390204604387734965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22120165.post-80295294458702692182009-12-19T04:28:15.105-05:002009-12-19T04:28:15.105-05:00While those of us with chronic migraines feel horr...While those of us with chronic migraines feel horribly guilty when we do call in sick. Thankfully, where I work my boss knows of my issues with migraines, she has them herself and so do a couple of our staff (almost all female cast where I work and so statistically we have a few who get migraines). So I have great sympathy for those who call in with a migraine or leave early with one. They have great sympathy for my chronic migraines, for the fact I have to work with them usually, and when I can't they know why. If someone called in sick with the excuse of migraines but does not actually get them... i would knonk them over the head with an iron cast frying pan and then they could use it as an excuse. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22120165.post-59203632177574984452009-11-24T12:00:48.477-05:002009-11-24T12:00:48.477-05:00EXACTLY!!

Now the "drug seekers" have learned to be the "call in sick crew" with Migraine and back pain - seriously! <br /><br />It's because of the fakers that we don't get the treatment we deserve in the ER!!!!! Now you are trying to make the workplace an issue too? As if it's not already hard enough! Oh I beg for someone to do this where I work and I find out about it. Then I'd give them the "well what preventive have you tried....can you take triptans"....and all that jazz.<br /><br />I read this on MSN the other day and it made me so angry!!!!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06523624189939691422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22120165.post-15297987328944501712009-07-08T18:08:02.893-04:002009-07-08T18:08:02.893-04:00Absofrickenlutely!
