i went through the migraine thing for a couple years... sometimes i could do nothing but lie in a dark room. but i had a friend who gave me a piece of advice no one else gave me, and it really worked:
put a HOT towel or pack on your forhead, covering as much as you can. i also tried this on my temples. make sure it won't blister you, but make sure it is hot, not merely warm. it works amazingly, but you end up with a red rectangle on your forehead. i'd do this for the time it would take two folder towels to get cool, and could begin to function. with the worst migraines, at least i could go out of the dark and move around.
btw, after several doctors and many friends telling me sinuses caused migraines, brain problems or other things, i left my extremely stressful situation and never had another full blown migraine again EVER, and it's been over ten years.
