How To Get Work To Accommodate Migraines? Coworkers Obsessed With Spraying Harmful Perfumes

Card image cap

Location: Louisville, Kentucky.

So, I work in a call center. I already know there's a lot of risks to it, with how many viruses go around, how more than half the people aren't vaccinated, all that...

The one thing I can't stand tho, is the migraines.

My migraines were in remission for YEARS until I got this job.

One of my triggers is a lot of chemical smells, especially perfumes.

It'd be one thing if I just didn't like them, but they cause it to feel like a toothpick is being rammed between my eyes, or otherwise a lot of pain all through my brain that's just... Unbearable.

Asked supervisors nicely to fix it. Absolutely ignored.

I'm about to go to HR, but what do I say to them to prove I have a disability? Mostly worked physical jobs before this, so I've never felt as... Gassed, as I do right now. I need to make sure I have a strong case so they don't just try to brush me off, because honestly HR is just as addicted to perfume.
