My migraines have lasted a week before. Starts with a mild throbbing. Stiffness in my neck. Then the vertigo. Then the pain hits with the added fun of sensitivity to light and sound. Then the pain anytime my pulse picks up that matches my heartbeat where every throb is so bad that I can’t see or hear. Then the puking. Sometimes I pass out when I puke. Sometimes I don’t. I bought a ridiculously expensive electronic eye mask that vibrates and heats up and has rollers. It applies pressure to my eyes and temples. I use it 3-4 times and the migraine goes away or slides into mild headache territory. I love that thing. No more curling up on the couch with a pillow over my ears and a hot towel on my eyes. I recommend the eye mask thingy.
It depends on the day. I always have a headache that ranges from low to "so high that i want to hit my face against the wall". Most of the time is low to mid but i had some periods where it got intense most days. Some months ago i was almost 2 days barely sleeping because the pain was so bad that even putting the head against the pillow hurt a lot. I had a few maddening migraines that lasted hours or days and were so intense that i harmed myself. Idk why but for some reason heavy headaches make me want to slap my forehead hard. But it does not help (obviously).
