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

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.

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.

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.

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