i swear, i could just spit. i'm angry. yeah, i have headaches. i have headaches almost every day. some days they're migraines. but i try to work as much as i can through them. fortunately, i work from home, so i can wear my sweats, and i can lay down for 30 minutes with an ice pack if i need to.

 

so today, my boss calls up and says i have this important project i want you to work on but i'm worried about giving it to you because of your health. hello! i have migraines, but i'm not an invalid. i mean, i know some people are, and i feel for them, i really do, but i'm not there yet, and i'm not stopping right now. i want the project. i told him to give it to me.

 

whenever i say that i have to go lay down for a while or i have to be gone for tests or whatever, it's like they think i'm making this up. what to do? i'm trying to educate, but unless you've had one of these puppies, you really don't understand, i don't think. anyone have thoughts?
