Hey, everyone!
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I know I did.
Thanksgiving morning, I woke up all super excited about the day's festivities, but I woke up with a headache. I was able to ignore it for the most part of the day. I wanted to have a fabulous day with my family. By the end of the day, I couldn't ignore it. So I took my Imitrex. It helped some, but it never went away. By that night, my family decided that we were all going shopping at the mall and Walmart. Of course, I wanted to go. So I didn't get any sleep Thursday night and into Friday. By now, my head is really starting to hurt. But I'm not gonna let this interfere with having a great time with my family, so I took some more Imitrex. I went to work at noon on Friday and worked till 8. By the time I got off work, my head was feeling somewhat better. I got a good night's sleep last night, but now it's day 3. I don't want to take more Imitrex, but I don't know what to do. My head still hurts. It's not horrible at the moment, but it hurts. What should I do? This is the first migraine I've had in a while.
Hey there,
Any A single Migraine that lasts 72 hours or longer with less than a solid four-hour pain-free period, while awake, is termed status Migrainous. You should see your doctor or go to the emergency room if a Migraine lasts that long. See Status Migrainous - The Basics for more information.
If your head pain hasn't stopped, please contact your doctor and let us know how you are feeeling, ok?

I ended up going into the emergency room that Sunday. After 4 days of a non-stop migraine, I couldn't take it anymore. I felt so much better by the next morning.
