I have gotten Migranes for alot of years too. Nothing like having a headache and living in an upstairs apartment with a balcony looking down on cement and your Best solution to ending the migrane is to jump. Luckily I never did jump, but for this one particular migrane was so bad that I called my doctor and told him HE BETTER DO something or I'm going to jump!!! With a migrane some people are in so much pain that reality is a blur and they are just wanting to get rid of the pain. He told me to go to the ER that he would be waiting for me which he was. I was lucky I didn't have to wait to be seen. He gave me a shot of Nubain and phenergan for the nausea and vomiting..oh gosh did that shot do wonders. Nubain is a non narcotic unlike Demerol that they would give me any other time. I would doze off but was almost always aware of my surroundings and such so it wasn't as if I was totally drugged out of my mind.
Another thing my doctor told me to do is to Drink a REGULAR COCA COLA!!! Something to do with the caffeine in the Coca Cola helps ease a migrane and it had to be the REAL Coca Cola. And I did voice my concern to him about being a diabetic and he said it would be okay to drink it once in a while.
Once I went through menopause, I no longer seem to have migranes but every great once in a while, I will get a headache that will last a couple of days but tolerable and I just take a couple of tylenols.
I hope that you find a solution very soon.
