ALT A graphic of what a manager would say to an employee with migraine & explanation of why it's inappropriate: 1. Have you Tried - they likely have tried whatever you're going to suggest. This infers that the person isn't trying hard enough to manage their disease. 2. Migraine is no reason to miss work - Migraine is the second leading cause of global disability. It is a full-body disease and can be so disabling that one is unable to work. 3. If we accommodate you, what about everyone else? - Accommodations level the playing field so that disabled and chronically ill people can do their job. 4. But this doesn't bother me... - Migraine is a spectrum. People with chronic migraine are more sensitive to smells, lights, and sounds than those who are episodic. 5. My friend said this cured them. Migraine has no cure. Some people go into remission. But migraine has no cure. Saying this feels like a punch in the gut.
