Michell,
Sounds familiar! Have you tried Midrin? It helps the initial pounding in the head. I have found it to be helpful "most" the time. Although, it's not 100% every time. It has given me some relief. Trust me, I have been there, and ready to give up! It's no fun, and it's a lonely feeling with Migrianes. Because there is a whole world going on out there, and they don't have a clue of the pain. Only "us" who suffer with these know. I find hope in prayer, and it's helped me deal with my pain. Don't give up, keep trying, and hoping.
Good luck!
Denise
