Navigating the Workplace Trigger Minefield

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects individuals with chronic migraine. Your employer is required to provide "reasonable accommodations" to help you perform your job.

Effective Accommodations

• Lighting: Replacing fluorescent bulbs with desk lamps or anti-glare filters.
• Environment: Scent-free office policies and noise-canceling headphones.
• Flexibility: Telework options or intermittent FMLA leave for multi-day attacks.

A documented attack history and MIDAS score provide the objective evidence needed to support accommodation requests.
