Will be watching this closely. My g/f gets these with unfortunate frequency. The poor girl deals with them surprisingly well but feel awful for her when she's clearly in a lot of pain and not a damn thing I can do to help. She's tried everything, nothing seems to help her. I think the only thing she can really do is notice when a day has the potential to trigger one (big changes in temp/pressure seems to be the common theme) and try to start taking a painkiller before it becomes full blown.
I think a girl in our office gets some form of advil in the states we can't get here. I'll go ask her about it again.
Mad props to anyone who has to deal with this and still is functional. Don't know how you do it. I have a pretty high pain tolerance but not when it comes to headaches. Not common for me but when I get one, I'm useless.
