Hi,

 

The answers given to you on your first question were right on target. Migraine lasting more than 72 hours without a solid four-hour break is status Migrainous, as one of the members told you and gave you a link for reference.

 

Hopefully, you've been to the doctor and are feeling better by now. If not, please DO get yourself to the doctor. Your own doctor is much better than the ER.
