Migraines & The Workplace
Migraines can be disabling and life threatening, but it can have a devastating and disruptive effect on normal living. Migraine sufferers experience not only excruciating pain, but can experience social ostracism, job loss, disruption to personal relationships, and prejudices in the workplace.
The cost to industry and the health care system in North America due to Migraine is estimated to cost between $5 and $17 billion dollars a year. Although most Migraine sufferers attempt to continue to work despite their Migraines, many Migraine sufferers see productivity spiral over time if they are not in a work environment that lets them work around their Migraine. In fact, one of the latest studies on the economic cost of Migraine found that the unemployment rate in individuals with severe Migraine is 10% to 20%, several times higher than the general population. The good news is that many employers are very accommodating to people with Migraine and that at the Headache & Pain Relief Centre we have programs that help address this productivity issue.
