Have you had the tablet from the pharmacy it's called migramelt or something? If you haven't been I would defo ask the pharmacist. If not the gp tomorrow. Plenty of fluids too. It's horrid, I used to get them a lot but never a 2 day one!

For me, the only thing that works is sleeping and sitting in a quiet, dark room.

Hot chilli or cayenne pepper! Seriously, I get horrible migraines and this has worked for me. Eat some hot sauce or something, itreleases endorphins that are your body's painkillers.

Oh feel your pain - I call it the migraine hangover. It's awful.

Lots of water, looooong shower, and a nap if you can manage to get one. I also second the spicy food theory as posted above - but i always heard it was Wasabi that worked the best. Clears the sinuses etc - not sure if it's true but if you can stomach it, worth a shot!

Hope you're feeling better soon

I feel your pain. I suffer awfully with migraines and have for a few years. I've been put on medication that I have to take twice a day to prevent them happening because no treatments work and they last anywhere between 3 days to 3 weeks. They're debilitating!

I can't deal with spicy foods at all so I never tried the spicy food theory! The best thing that I found for relief, as odd as it sounds, is to cause brain freeze. Either eating ice cream, drinking iced coffee/milkshake/slush or holding an ice lolly on the roof of my mouth.
