Please call your doctor. Whenever your Migraines change patterns, you need to call your doctor. If it's the worst you ever had, you need to call your doctor NOW and be seen.
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.
Please be safe and call your doctor.
Good luck,
Teri
