Migraine Work Accommodations: Requests That Make Work More Manageable
Work accommodations are often most useful when they describe what helps you work effectively: a lower-glare space, flexible start time, remote work on flagged days, or protected focus blocks. You do not need to apologize for a health need.
Prepare a clear request
- Name the work barrier, such as glare, noise, or unpredictable symptoms
- Suggest a practical adjustment
- Track which adjustment helped and when
- Keep a record of follow-up conversations
Your migraine history can make a clinician conversation and a work request more concrete.
