Jobs for People with frequent Migraines

I have loss my job (yet again) due to my frequent migraines.  I have finally gone and applied for disability.  I use to work as a pharmacy technician.  It has been made clear to me that my condition is not going to improve anytime soon and that any job with a strict work schedule will not suit me.  I have to call out often and usually with short notice due to my migraines.  I'm trying to pull myself up and redirect my life.  What jobs are available that would be more flexible with the work schedule?  So far all I can think of is direct sales like Mary Kay or Avon, were I would work on my own time.

Hi,
Aside from direct sales, having your own business or home-based internet jobs may also work. There are many factors to consider in finding the best job for  you such as your location, age, work experience and background including your degree. It may be difficult at the start but what is important is that you love what you do and you get to focus on managing your migraines. Identifying the possible triggers through a headache journal is also helpful.  Take care!
