migraines

migraine stole my day yesterday. i woke up with it – drank pills around 7am and went back to bed. woke up around 12 – pain is still there. i lay down and get up at 2pm to drink pills again. then my husband got us food and i ate a bit and then went back to bed and slept until 7pm. day stolen, but at least i was feeling better and had like 3 hours left to do something fun before i go to bed again. i looked like Yoda in the bottom picture though i had one last month when we were visiting our cousins. i woke up with it and drank pills, but never rested because we made plans for the day. we went out, did fun things and all that time i was in so much pain, but i didn't want to ruin fun for everyone else. this one was the one where i feel better after i throw up, but it took me 10 hours of pain to get there and finally throw up. i ended up making everyone worry about me, but i was finally feeling better. i never visited doctor about this, but it's on my to do list. my mom had the pills doctor prescribed for her migraine and i was always taking them when i had it. but i don't live with my mom anymore and i definitely need stronger pills or i can't function at all... or i can but it's unbearable! i honestly hope nobody has to deal with this kind of headaches, but in case you have them - what do you use for pain? i've seen "the trick" with soaking your feet in warm water and putting a wet cloth on your neck, but i'm not so sure it will help me. any natural remedies (ha ha)?
