Coalition for Headache & Migraine Patients

Register for the Migraine at Work Workshop on June 11, 2-3 PM ET: bit.ly/mhamwebinar We know firsthand how juggling migraine and work can be a minefield. There are so many questions: Should I tell my boss? Should I ask for accommodations? Am I required to disclose migraine? What are my rights? Stay after for a Q&A with Migraine World Summit hosts Carl Cincinnato and Paula K. Dumas.

Today is the first day of Migraine and Headache Awareness Month. We kick off #MHAM by recognizing Headache & Migraine at Work Day to raise awareness for the need for employer accommodations for people living and working with headache diseases, such as migraine. Annually, more than 157 million workdays are lost in the United States to migraine disease. When combining both direct and indirect costs, U.S. companies lose $78 billion a year to migraine.
