Night shift and the migraine sufferer

[tinderbox]

Anyone out there with a history of migraines and works noc shift? I will be going back to acute care and will be on noc shift, but I started suffering from migraines this year. Yes, I know noc shift and migraines sound like a recipe for disaster, but the thought of waking up at 0530 am and doing crazy dayshift makes my head hurt, too. Plus all that noise, bright lights, constant streams of people, and chaos...aghh, I get anxious just thinking about it! I worked nights before and did pretty well. My last time in acute care was on dayshift, and I hated it.Anyway, I'd like to hear from those migraine sufferers who work noc's and how you deal with it.
