I have had migraines for a while now and take meds for it. They have helped some but I still have them around every 5 days so I have rescue meds as well that don't work all the time, but usually takes it to a dull roar. Everytime I have one people tell me to stop and rest or quit doing anything for the day. Even my doctor wants me to stop and lay down for a few hours or longer if the migraine persists. I can't stop everytime. I put on a pair of sunglasses, carry a trash can, and put a cold towel on my neck. I bump into things and am unable to keep anything down during the migraine. So to attempt to avoid injury I move very slowly. I have two children, a son who is 9 and a daughter who is 7. My son is autistic and does not separate except to go to school. He follows me everywhere, which is good because he must have direct supervision. My daughter is only 7 and needs me as well although she likes to think otherwise. My husband works long hours but helps when he gets home. 

So I don't understand how people can expect anyone to just step away from their life to rest. I understand it helps with the migraine however it is not always possible to just stop. Does this frustrate anyone else?
