1 – Ask: “Is there anything I can do to make your life easier today?” Think: pick up the kids, call the neighbors, drop off a delivery, make dinner, get groceries, reschedule a commitment, and so on. You don’t know all that’s going on in our overactive brains until you ask. And then if you do it, well, you’re our hero for the day.
2 – Say “no problem” when plans get cancelled. One thing migraine sufferers feel really guilty about is having to cancel plans and letting down the people we care most about. (That’s you). So take the guilt away, even if you’re frustrated. Saying ‘no problem’ when I had to cancel New Year’s Eve plans at 6pm showed compassion and kindness.
3 – Sacrifice perfume and pungent foods. Whatever smell nauseates them, keep it out of their inhalation zone. (Radishes are one of mine – but some people are sensitive to chemical smells, gasoline, and other pungent foods). Giving us a fragrance- and odor-free zone is just plain kind. Because, sadly, we can throw up almost anytime with the ‘proper’ odor.
4 – Make a migraine care package. There are so many things you can put into it, from earplugs to eye shades to ice packs to bland crackers to menthol to lavender to socks. You’ll find all kinds of strange and interesting things in the Migraine Again Store.
5 – Make a donation to Migraine Research in their name. We don’t want the next generation to suffer from this, and with more research, we may find a cure. It’s the 8th most disabling condition on the planet, underdiagnosed and underfunded. This says: I believe you, and I care.
6 – Cover for them, if you can. If you work with them on anything, step in and cover as you’re able to. Or let whoever is expecting them to deliver (boss, co-worker, volunteer colleague) know that they’re seriously disabled and most definitely not faking.
