As someone who has chronic migraines, I tried hard to not let it disrupt work. Managers were sympathetic. I know I'm one of the lucky ones. I have Raynauds and didn't mention it. One job I had the office space was cold in winter. My line manager came to do my appraisal, noticed my hands were blotchy/white. He acquired a portable heater for me. Wish everyone had understanding employers and managers. It makes a big difference.

Hey @Suewithlupustoo,
Thank you for sharing! I think it can be just as important to highlight good experiences as well as call out bad practice, and it's so refreshing to hear of your positive experience. Hope today is being kind to you!
