BAH!

In an attempt to fight off the pernicious migraines, I've been wearing hoods to work. They've been doing a pretty good job of keeping the flickering down, and slow my migraines down significantly.

But today I was just called aside and told I cannot wear hoods, not even for the rest of today, without having a doctor's note.

It's only been about fifteen minutes without the hood, but I can feel the flickering, the headache, and the wobbliness returning.

I am NOT a happy camper.

You need a visor. Like a news reporter. Worn very inelegant, and ideally with their logo on it. I'd also recommend a lamp of your own on the desk - a bright one. Your eyes will focus at that level and it'll wash out some of the flicker.

After a few bouts of disorientation caused by my kitchen's flourescent, i grabbed a screwdriver and removed the thing. Had no light in the kitchen for a month while i decided on a replacement, and it was SO much better.

I'd love it if they'd just turn off the overhead lights. My monitor provides all the light I need. But that's not going to happen.

I wouldn't want a bright light. Bright lights are one of my migraine triggers.
