“Well, I’ve had several [migraines] over the course of the football season,” she told Richard Deitsch. “For example, I’ve gone from averaging 5-6 a month down to averaging three a month. I consider that being lucky. They’re very debilitating for me. They’ve been a problem for a very, very long time. It’s caused me to miss a few games over the span of my career because I just couldn’t take the noise and the light and the sickness that comes with that. The nausea and the vomiting.”
Oliver went on to reference a game she covered “about three or four years ago” at the Mercedez-Benz Stadium when Pam Oliver’s migraines kicked in as she was set to arrive.
She was torn about working the game, and as a result, she made the decision not to work it.
“My driver, I said, you gotta pull over. We were less than five minutes from the stadium. I’m hurling. My head is pounding. And I made the decision right then and there, I’m no good to anyone,” Oliver revealed. “There’s no way that I felt like I was gonna get through that game, be productive, help the crew, contribute in any way. So, turned around and I went home. I felt so guilty about that for the longest time, but they really do knock me out of action.
“I feel like they’ve gotten better, just from the standpoint of having fewer. But they definitely are real,” she continued. “And they continue to plague me. And not to have people feel sorry for me, but that’s just the way it is. That’s just part of my health issue.”
