Beyond the health and family challenges of living with migraines, this condition also brings with it a variety of legal and financial obstacles. Severe and unpredictable migraine may hamper your ability to hold a full-time job and require that you apply for some level of disability benefits. Or, you may face discrimination in the workplace from those who don't understand the condition, threatening your job security. The potentially high cost of migraine care can also place a strain on your economic well-being. Know what your insurance options and rights are, and what other public and private programs are available to bridge the financial gap.
