Hi dejuan29,

 

There are really many, many books written on why and how Migraine last so long. No one is for sure at this very moment. At this point, stopping this headache or Migraine that you've had for seven days needs to be a priority. When oral medications have failed, IV infusions will often break the cycle. For more information about this, see IV Treatment of Refractory Migraines.

 

Good luck

Nancy
