I know it may not sound like much but sometimes it is worth trying at least while you wait for your appointment

Yes I'll have to try the temperature methods. I read that drinking Vitamin C can also be good, and putting feet in warm water w/ice pack on neck (this apparently confuses the brain somehow).

Experiencing a migraine as a first timer is a really scary experience, especially when nobody you know has experienced it. It's bloody awful.
Something I really don't like and that I find quite troubling, is how the neurologists down here don't budge for emergencies. Before I was aware of my migraine (or even knew what a migraine was), I had listed off symptoms to several receptionists I called who just didn't give a damn what the hell was going wrong with me; not even if I had to wait 4 months to see anybody. I'm probably being unrealistic, but my family doctor can process greater amounts of people faster than they seem to, and neurologists aren't entirely in high demand
