From the last link
"If moderate to severe Migraine pain lasts more than 72 hours, with less than a solid four-hour pain-free period, while awake, it should be considered an emergency requiring an office call or a trip to the emergency room."
"The pain of a Migraine is from dilated blood vessels in the brain and the inflammation of tissue and nerves around those blood vessels. Extended dilation of the blood vessels puts us at increased risk of stroke. Thus, it's important to stop a Migraine attack, as opposed to simply masking the pain with pain medications, as soon as possible."
I don't mean to seem really pushy here, but more OTC meds and ignoring it isn't always the best.
None of us would leave our kitties or other pets in pain for this long so it why should it be ok neglect ourselves?
