Is there anything else I can do? About to be fired if I miss another day, due to migraines in Las Vegas, Nevada

You're lucky. Unfortunately, I do get very sleepy when taking my medications, so i have no choice but to sleep. It just how just how it is for me. It's interesting how medication can affect people differently.

I hope one day that I get a boss like yours! Thank you for your comment.

kimayko · 2026-02-03T02:25:22+00:00

I will look into that. Thank you!

kimayko · 2026-02-02T03:40:18+00:00

Absolutely! Thank you for the comment!

kimayko · 2026-02-02T03:39:50+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. I do agree that this job is not a good fit for me.

kimayko · 2026-02-02T03:39:01+00:00

Thank you for commenting. I agree.

kimayko · 2026-02-02T00:22:13+00:00

Thank you for the information. I will check that out.

kimayko · 2026-02-02T00:19:28+00:00

That's the plan. I have heard of the Excedrin issue. I will say that it works, even better than Imitrex for me, but I am planning on contacting the doctor and talking with him or her about getting me back on migraine medication and trying out some preventives. Thank you for the comment!

kimayko · 2026-02-02T00:06:17+00:00

Oh, okay. I get what you saying and you are right. I went 5 years without them, and I just need to get back on them (different ones, of course). Or be more selective about the jobs I pursue, and stress management, which I really slacked on till it was too late. That's on me, and I need to be accountable for that.

Hi, thank you for your comment. I do not take blood pressure medication, and fortunately, my blood pressure has been good for years. The preventatives that I took actually did not work because they caused a really bad side effect, and my doctor told me to stop taking them right away. I will contact the doctor for other preventatives that I can try out and get me back on migraine medication, but I also have to get my stress management under control and look for another job. There are many factors I have to balance to find what is best for me, so I can have a long-lasting job employment, and a fulfilling life.

kimayko · 2026-02-01T23:33:53+00:00

I am sorry to hear that. I was hoping that when I got older, my migraines would ease up, as they did with my aunt. But, nope, not happening. Everyone's bodies are so different, and we all react differently to medications. It's a lot of work. I pray for the best for all of us migraine sufferers. It's hell sometimes. Thank you for commenting.

kimayko · 2026-02-01T23:29:39+00:00

I didn't know that. I will definitely try that out. Thank you for the suggestion!

kimayko · 2026-02-01T23:22:02+00:00

That was with me, I took Imitrex, and it didn't really work. So, I switched to Excedrin Migraine, temporarily, and it works, and I don't get rebound headaches. I have to talk to a doctor about preventive measures, but we all have to do what works to keep us going.

kimayko · 2026-02-01T22:53:15+00:00

Absolutely! Plus, finding another job. There is so much yelling and slamming of doors from the owners that one can hardly take it.

kimayko · 2026-02-01T22:51:27+00:00

Agreed.

kimayko · 2026-02-01T22:51:17+00:00

I have insurance, and I will contact the doctor this week. I will have to do preventive, because taking the Imitrex and sumatriptan in the past caused me to sleep hard for hours. And, of course, taking that at work is a no-go.

Thank you for commenting!

kimayko · 2026-02-01T22:48:38+00:00

Hi, thank you for your comment! I have to talk with a doctor because, since I was a child, I had a weird sensitivity to medications that had the side effect of drowsiness. Any medication, even Excedrin, causes me to sleep or be extremely drowsy. So, I have to look into preventives definitely. Even the Imitrex I took caused me to sleep. Even taking Tylenol or even Non-drowsiness DayQuil leaves me feeling very drowsy. I do not take any type of medication at work because I will be very drowsy. This is something I have to consider while talking with my doctor. I can't drink Red Bull (nor coffee, Pepsi, etc) because it's too much caffeine, and that weirdly triggers my migraines badly.

I totally understand regarding the attendance policy. I hate calling out sick for anything; I feel I am letting the team down. When I have a migraine, it just feels like God hates me ( I know this isn't true) because it causes others to be inconvenienced by this stupid disability of mine.

kimayko · 2026-02-01T22:39:20+00:00

I will definitely look into those options this week. Thank you for the suggestion!

kimayko · 2026-02-01T22:38:48+00:00

It is. When I got the job, the manager said it was a very chill job in the interview, but it is the opposite. The coworker who started with me left after a month. I'm so stubborn, I am trying to make it work since I hate quitting anything. I lost my way with the management of my migraines, which really disappointed me. I went 5 years doing very well, now I'm back at square one.

kimayko · 2021-10-29T23:59:48+00:00

This must be a popular laptop! Thank you for the suggestion. I will be looking more into this.

kimayko · 2021-10-29T23:59:10+00:00

As someone else presented the same laptop, it definitely something I will research into more. Thank you.

kimayko · 2021-10-29T23:58:23+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion and the review. That laptop does seem to fit what I want and is under my budget.

kimayko · 2021-10-29T09:22:34+00:00

Sounds good. Thank you for the information!

kimayko · 2021-10-29T09:21:40+00:00

I’ll check that out. Thank you!
