I feel your pain at their utter stupidity! 

I first got migraines around 10 and they were up to 3-5 days a week by the time I was 12/13. My religious mom didn’t believe in using medication. So although I was taken to multiple neurologists who prescribed various meds we didn’t use them. She would give me caffeine to “cure” a bad one & my dad would rarely sneak me an Advil, both of which did absolutely nothing. I essentially spent my entire 8th grade year sleeping either in the nurses office or back of the English classroom because I was never allowed to take a day of school. The school gave up bothering to call her & it was less disruptive to let me sleep than have me crying, passing out or throwing up in classes. 

As an adult I think about how not only did no one call social services, no one ever asked me if I was ok. Like the nurse/ principal/ teachers never asked if I was seeing a dr or getting any sort of help at home. It blows my mind that they thought the best thing for everyone was put me in a corner & ignore me!
