I hate this.

Oh, poor baby! I know the feeling. Try putting an icepack on your head, along with whatever headache remedy you are using.

Coffee+Advil+Sudafed+Sleep usually helps with me. Sometimes (rarely) it even stops the migraine before it really catches hold.
It really is a miserable miserable way to start your day =( I hope you feel better soon.

I took one of the migraine pills the doctor gave me (Zomig), and slept from about 8 to about 3. Dreaming constantly, and waking up briefly after every dream.
One of them was absolutely horrible. And I think it was because a little while after I took the pill, my head started getting this horrid, bloating pressure feeling.
I have a very nasty allergy to beans, and I dreamt that I was having an anaphalactic reaction. I was desperately looking for Benadryl in both medicine cabinets, and finding nothing. And no one was coming to help me. I remember being hysterical and violent in the dream.
You'd think a migraine would be bad enough without stuff like that...
Btw, I'm also allergic to ibuprofen, so Advil isn't an option. And I've been off of caffiene for almost a week, so I didn't want to do that.
Decrepit at 42. Loving this.

I had the stomach flu all day yesterday (seriously 13 hours of the worst of it) so now I have a terrible headache and a fever, I know how you feel.

I had a migraine yesterday. But it didn't set in till right before I went to sleep, so I wasn't bothered much by it.
I would say that that best thing to would be to rest. Stay away from light (i.e. no TV, sun tanning, or late night reading) and loud noises.
And however much you may not want to, you should try and keep something in your stomach.

Could this be the cause of the migraine? I know I had unbearable headaches when I went off of caffiene.

Wow. You just eliminated what I do for migraines...
I drink a Mt. Dew or two (my standard source of caffeine), grab some ibuprofin, and hope I can get myself to fall alseep before the worst of the migraine hits.

'Decrepit' is a great word to describe how I feel when I'm in a phase of frequent migraines. (Frequent usually means one per week for me.) They really do interrupt your life. I always wonder how productive and awesome I could be in all aspects of my life if I didn't have to spend two days a week in suffering and recovery.
It's been better this fall for me (not as frequent), but I feel for you. I hope you feel better by tonight so you can at least be somewhat functional tomorrow. *hugs*

I had a migraine today, too, so you have my sympathies. The visual aura hit me in wal-mart. I've been sleeping ever since. I still feel kind of groggy/shaky, like I'm not sure if it's really gone or not.
And all this on my DAY OFF.
Figures...

Cheer up; clearly this is proof of Intelligent Design. Undirected evolution could hardly produce such results; that must obviously require real sadism.

Say, Shvester, am I catching up to you in post count? Maybe old age is getting to you.
