Ugh.. What does a migraine feel like?
I have had the same headache for three days now. It hurt so much last night that it woke me up a couple of times. I've tried to nap off and on today to pass the time, but I'm having trouble sleeping. Wearing my sunglasses helps. A hot towel over my eyes helped a little last night. An ice pack helped a little today. It's right behind one eye, kind of in the nose area. The pain radiates into my teeth.
Is this a migraine? I've never had one before, and I always assumed they hurt more than this. I've been killing the aleave, and it does nothing.

I used to get shots of demoral and phenergan to abort my migraines at Patient First. At this point you do not need preventative medication.

Thanks for all of the advice, guys. It's mostly gone at this point. I can still kind of feel it, but it's not really pain. I started to wonder last night if it might be tension related because I had this crazy urge to pop my neck (which I never have). Good advice on the NSAIDs. I probably overused them. I took an antianxiety drug as well, and that seemed to lessen it a little. I'm in the midst of law school finals right now, so there's certainly plenty of reason that I may have stress, etc.
