Spotlight #03: Working & Dealing With Severe Migraines (A Colleagues Story)

Today we are joined by a member of staff from Guys & St Thomas hospital trust who is dealing with having chronic and severe long term migraines

 

Our guest prefers to remain anonymous while they discuss how they cope with constant headaches and migraines as a long term health condition

 

We discusses the physical and mental effects this condition can cause as well as the challenges / outcomes this has presented in their current role

 

We lastly get specific with medicines involved to help control these conditions, new and promising prevention trials and even a charity that can help others in similar situations that may find such information helpful
