I use a muscle rub like tiger balm or flexall on my forehead, back of neck and temples (start with a small amount, it can be intense!) then lay a hot towel or warm pack on your forehead. If the heat makes it worse, use ice instead. Take an Excedrin (good stuff!) or aspirin and drink a bunch of water.
I have had migraines all my life, I used to have to go to the ER for a shot of Demerol, but I found Imitrex and it was a lifesaver, I take it (only a half dose) when I feel it coming on and it totally knocks it out. Good luck, I feel your pain!

first try alkaselzer, it that doesn"t calm it use a cool towel on your head. If you are dizzy sit up. turn off or down the lights. Use any pain killer that worked before. Try coffee as a last resort.

Take a shower and go to bed. That usually helps me.
