My migraine relief formula is to drink a coke or coffee, eat a piece of bread or some crackers, and take 800 mg of ibuprofen (advil). Works pretty well for me if I catch it when it's just starting.

If rest and over-the-counter medications aren't doing it, see your doctor to get a triptan drug (imitrex, zomig), and possibly some other pain relievers like vicodin or butalbital.

My great-aunt swears by acupuncture for her migraines, but I've never tried it.

Hope your migraine is gone by now...

I suffered migraines for a long time following a auto accident when I was 19. After trying Ergostat (old migraine med) I started having chiropractic adjustments...after a year of those, I don't have migraines anymore. I do have bad headaches occasionally, but nothing like those migraines.

I tried many things over the years

From disolving baby asapirin under the tounge

To Midrin(but it make staying awake a major challegne)

Dark room is a requirement, hope you are home by now.

Citrus oil rubbed on the temples works if I catch the migraine at the beginning.
