Teachers with Migraine
My daughter’s teacher suffers from migraines, too. Last Thursday she had to leave school early and wasn’t back on Friday. She’s back to day and feeling much better, but she said it took a few days to get back to normal. I can relate. It’s hard juggling the demands of life - family, career - when you’re also dealing with a migraine. And when you’re completely sidelined and can’t even function, then what? You rely on everyone around you to help pick up the slack and carry on in your place. It’s hard, feeling that need to reply on other people, to have to let them take care of things for you without feeling like you can really “make it up” to them. Accepting help is a must, but it isn’t always easy to do, and there are often strong feelings of guilt that come with it.
I continue to be amazed that I haven’t missed a day of work yet due to migraine. *knocks on wood*
Looks like there’s another migraine medication in the works -
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Jan. 8 (UPI) — U.S. firm ProEthic Pharmaceuticals said Monday it has promising findings from a phase 3 study of its fast-acting migraine therapy.
The company said the eight-month, 690-patient study of its drug candidate PRO-513 met all of its endpoints by proving superior to placebo in pain relief and associated symptoms of nausea, sensitivity to light or sensitivity to sound at two hours.
