You probably already know but watch for diet triggers.
Try to find a doctor who specializes in treating & preventing pain. If you can remove the triggers you might not need the treatments.
Imitrex, both tablets and shots, are what helps a very good friend of mine. She's had a hell of a time with migraines for many years. Takes tablets at first hint of aura or eye pain. A shot if she waited too long, which takes her out of commission for 3+hours, and it's expensive.
I get migraines about once a month but they aren't completely disabling. Just enough to make me close the curtains and avoid food smells for a couple days. As you said, the ibuprofen doesn't touch them. I take 3 aspirin which dulls it a little and I work quietly on things that don't require much visual effort.
