Going on my 5th day of a migraine! Help!

I think it's time to make a dr apt for this!
I'm extremely frustrated and don't know why it is now for almost 5th day of an extreme headache, pretty sure we are at migraine status but lights don't bitter me so much as long as they are freaking bright like the sun and I'm sitting here listening to my boyfriend play video games so sound is okay, keeps my mind somewhat off of the pain in my head!

Any ideas to what maybe causing this?

I have my wisdome teeth coming in currently and originally was thinking it was from the pain of that but don't think so cause they dint hurt anymore for the time being at least.

This last march ('12) I was in a car accident and had a nasty concision
Wouldn't think it would be from that

Haven't had any recent falls or hit my head on anything
Advil, water, healthy food nothing is helping!
Iv tried a massage, deep breathing, being in a dark silent room
Telling you nothing is helping
It's in the front part of my head, by my eyes
I get kinda dizzy sometimes if I'm up moving around

I have a bit of stress in my life right now but nothing I can't handle, mean iv had way more stress in my life before.

Any suggestions would be great
If I wake up tomorrow and don't feel better I might just cry
It's starting to get me really down

While I agree with calling the doctor in the morning, it could very well be allergies. Since I usually refuse to go to the doctor (only if completely necessary..even though I broke my wrist and ankle and didn't go [BAD on my part]), I've had migraines for days upon days due to allergies. I'm working in a warehouse right now 7-9 hours a day with a half hour break and I've constantly had a headache..next paycheck I'll be buying a box or two of claritin to hopefully stop it, lol.

Have you seen a chiropractor after your car accident?

I get headaches from seasonal allergies and I have to take a non drowsy decongestant like Pseudophedrineand a antihistamine like Zyrtec.

My heating pad and "rice sock" warmed in the microwave are my best friends for headaches as well.

I am so sorry you have had one for so long. I know it is just miserable. *gentle hugs*

Oh my mom gave me something similar to Valium for my headaches to give me some relief when I was back home visiting. Do you know how awkward and slightly embarrassing it is to have that sucker hit you when you are out to dinner in front of your parents? Then 5 minutes later I didn't care =D. Definitely gave me a much needed break!

I hope you are feeling good soon! Get in some comfortable clothes and a good snuggle dog/cat and take a nap!

I have to take three different meds and I the headachs get any worse in the next two days to go back. My mom and I got comfort food at the store and now on our way home so I can rest!
Thanks again you guys!!

If you are getting these headaches every day at the SAME time....it could be cluster headaches....pain in the eyes? I was diagnosed with these, it took a whole year to resolve with medication.....a very small percentage of people get these headaches and even a smaller percentage of those are women. They are also termed suicide headaches because people cannot get rid of them and the pain is on a scale way beyond that of a migraine and people have been recorded as killing themselves to end it.......the pain in my eye(s) was so bad they thought I had glaucoma and sent me to a neurologist and an eye specialist.....it's that rare in women......please do see your GP......
