Migraines are miserable. The best you can do is to see a doctor and get treatment for them. Sometimes they have to try different medications before they find something that works well. Usually they will prescribe something to take to ease the pain at the onset of a migraine and a different medication to be taken on a daily basis to prevent migraine headaches. They like to prescribe "triptan" meds for the pain.(sumatriptan, relpax). Check your insurance. If you do not have insurance coverage these meds can be expensive but they are effective. If you do not have good medicine insurance coverage tell your doctor and he/she can prescribe something less expensive to control the pain.

I understand light and loud noise trigger migraines. They are terrible. One more thing, it is always best to take a pain medication when you feel the migraine coming on. Don't wait until it is real bad before you take pain medication, then it is harder to get rid of the pain. I know your misery. I have been battling this for 3 months, and I am hoping I am finally landing on the right combination of medication. Best of wishes.
