Omfg I'm coming off the worst 4 day migraine I've had in many many years... and yesterday was like being in hell... the whole left side of my head felt like I'd been hit by a baseball bat and the visual disturbances, nausea, light and sound sensitivity were kicking my ass badly.

Like most I retreat to that dark quiet space and try to stay passed out (sleep) as much as possible, wake up, take more pain meds, try to stay hydrated as I possibly can.

I wish I could give some great tips and tricks, but what Corkey shared with me some time back (what he shared here too) is helpful... especially the ice feels very soothing (my head feels a yucky kinda hot when I get them).

Upside I always lose a couple pounds... it's like my consolation prize for surviving or something...
