Sick Note for Migraine in Ontario
Migraines can be completely debilitating, making it impossible to work, drive, or even look at a screen. MedLetter provides physician-reviewed documentation for migraine-related absences without requiring you to endure a bright, noisy walk-in clinic during an episode.
When to Seek Emergency Care
Migraines typically last 4-72 hours. If you experience sudden severe headache, vision changes, or neurological symptoms for the first time, seek emergency care.
Assessment Information
Migraine documentation is typically reviewed based on your intake form, especially if you have a history of migraines. First-time severe headaches may require a brief assessment.
