Water, yeah - rest is a biggie. Sometimes, a good nap shakes you out of it. When I'm having a bad one (non migraine)... I get a neck massage, whether I con Q into doing it, a friend, or even going to a nail salon and paying for it (here you can get 10 min, 23 min, whatever you want, makes it easier to pay for). Because when you start having pain, you get tense. And the tension causes more pain. And then you get more tense.... you get my drift. It's important to break the cycle.

So!
1. Take the most appropriate drugs you can. (I love my migraine meds, they help me... oh, I don't know, LIVE.)
2. Get neck rub. Once it starts, you'll feel the trigger points if you don't already.
3. Nap for at least an hour, hopefully two.

I hope you're feeling better by the time you get this!
