To those with chronic migraines, how do you function? I’ve had them since I was 4/5 years old and I just feel like I’m constantly letting everyone at work down due to my migraines.

God that's awful. I had a period a few years ago where I was getting cluster headaches pretty much daily. It was miserable and so debilitating. I got meds that helped lessen the severity, but even still, when they'd hit I felt completely incapable of getting anything done. Given how long you've been dealing with them, I'm guessing you've been to a number of specialists at this point, so saying "get on meds!" probably isn't a viable option...

My friend gets Botox in the back of her neck and scalp and she said it’s vastly reduced the headaches. It’s covered by her insurance but she had to go through a process for it. I usually take Tylenol or excedrin and function with a low grade headache. It’s awful, i agree but i dont get them super often - only if i have a triggering event like stress, lack of sleep, teeth grinding, not eating properly

I, also, get Botox injections and, yes, they help a lot and are covered by my insurance.

Have you had your sinuses checked? I had surgery last year, which sucked. Took two weeks to recover. But I can now breathe amazingly and headaches are few and far between.

Yeah, anxiety is rough. My wife is a high performer, but the anxiety hits her hard and she's always feels like she's failing in life, when her bosses and everyone else doesn't see that at all. Wishing you peace ❤️

I soak my feet in hot water so that blood rushes down there from my brain. It has helped me tremendously!

User experience mgr salary? I support six product teams and eight reports. 20+ years experience

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
