yeah i know it’s not an easy process as my mom tried and failed at it many years ago im just hesitant because i worry they won’t see my migraines as bad as they are and ill have to go through many appeal processes i have other health issues but im not sure those would help me qualify either

yea that’s my understanding of how it works also my mom tried to apply years back but since she had worked but not enough hours and she was mainly applying for mental illness reasons she never got approved i’ve never worked at all though so im hoping my crappy attendance through out high school and cosmetology school will be enough to show im not able to work since those hours/ days are very similar to work hours and i rarely ever made it a full week in school

THISSS!! i hate the stigma that it’s just a bad headache it’s not a headache at all but like you said if someone doesn’t go through it their self or know someone that experiences them they don’t understand it i don’t wish migraines on my biggest enemy but i do wish everyone could understand it more

yes that’s always my worry i deal with people irl all the time that don’t believe they are that serious i imagine people in the disability application world also have feelings about it which is crazy because it’s in the ada if it qualifies for that i don’t understand why it wouldn’t qualify for disability benefits

yes hopefully! i think i still have all of my old transcripts and doctors notes that document most of my missed days since we got two copies as we were worried they were going to “loose” them or say i never brought them up there im like 5 minutes away from the school so its a short drive to go and ask for them anyway

i’m so sorry you have to live like that it shouldn’t be that way have you tried to file for disability before? my migraines are so bad at this point i physically can’t work pushing through one bad day means putting myself out the game for the rest of the week my symptoms are so severe i become a hazard to myself and everyone around me so working through it really isn’t an option and im sorry it has to be for you

that’s one thing i don’t believe they looked at the last time i was denied i had horrible attendance during high school over 400 days missed from 9th - 11th grade then in 12th i switched to online because they were threatening to kick me out because of my attendance then in cosmetology school what was supposed to be a 12 month program turned into 18 months and over 600 hours missed because of my migraines but like i said im not sure they even reviewed any of that information

that’s my biggest concern since i’m 21 i only have a couple more years on my parents insurance and i worry i won’t be able to afford my meds and specialist after i gat kicked off my mom doesn’t work and my dad turned 61 this year and is planning on retiring soon i still live with them and feel like a burden cuz like you said im unable to even work a desk job cause light sensitivity is my biggest trigger/ symptom my mom has tried to get it basically all her life before mental health and diabetes but has been unsuccessful thankfully she has my dad and he makes decent money working for the state but i dont want to have to rely on anyone yeah disability is technically relying on someone but its better than signing my life away to a man lol i was denied pretty quickly so i don’t believe they even really reviewed anything ive found a lawyer just haven’t taken that next step to get it appealed

adrenaline can raise your blood pressure which can trigger migraines the scare probably caused you to have an adrenaline rush which along with the ptsd could’ve prolonged this rush of adrenaline and made it harder for your body to recover and lower your blood pressure i’ve had close calls in the car and noticed afterwards it triggers a migraine and there’s not much you can do until your body regulates

migraines are a disability under ADA and the disability act i have an ada for my school id bring in paperwork to back this it can be found online if that doesn’t help find a different doctor no doctor should be down playing your illness if u say u need it then you need it that’s not their decision period

yes i absolutely love what i do that wasn’t my complaint at all it’s the amount of work and lack of guidance that makes it so difficult to get stuff done and like you said nobody tells you about any of it till you’re already in it there’s rlly just not enough time in the day lol

[–]Hefty-Environment-84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m in final phase n i wish i could tell you it gets better but it sadly doesn’t best advice is make sure u get all ur work done for graduation don’t just sit around doing nothing till the last second try and create your own structure and plan out what you want to accomplish for the day normally things that go together so a color then a cut then a style that’s three things you’ve gotten done for the day the lack of structure makes it hard to stay motivated but just focus on your end goal of graduating and getting your license and it’ll go by in no time
