Posted almost 20 hours ago as I post this comment. Hope things are getting better by now.

I tend to take several Ibuprofen or naproxin and drink lots of water while I hide in a dark place waiting for the drugs to kick in and I fall asleep. When I’ve had CDB lozenges handy I’d take one (or a few drops of the oral oil) as it hits faster, covering that hour it takes for the Ibuprofen/naproxin to fully kick in.

Turn off all the lights and try to sleep.

When my head hurts I take a nap :comfy:

Take enough benzos to blackout.

You gotta take something like Maxalt and try to fall asleep. If you go to the doc they may give you an injection so it acts faster. If you are having visual occlusions this means this is a legit, full-blown migraine (not a bad headache that people would often mistake for one).

Based on my prior experiences with them I highly recommend trying to go somewhere (clinic, GP emergency visit, maybe even emergency room) to get professional care because they are absolutely fucking horrible. Also, I second ice packs (if you can even stand it). If the epicenter is superficial enough, sometimes hitting it with an ice pack in a thin layer for as long as I can stand it before removing the ice pack will create a “thawing” sensation and provide relief for maybe about a minute or so each time.
