Light, sound, anything mentally taxing causes pain. What do I do?

    You gotta take something like Maxalt and try to fall asleep. If you go to the doc they may give you an injection so it acts faster. If you are having visual occlusions this means this is a legit, full-blown migraine (not a bad headache that people would often mistake for one).

    Based on my prior experiences with them I highly recommend trying to go somewhere (clinic, GP emergency visit, maybe even emergency room) to get professional care because they are absolutely fucking horrible. Also, I second ice packs (if you can even stand it). If the epicenter is superficial enough, sometimes hitting it with an ice pack in a thin layer for as long as I can stand it before removing the ice pack will create a "thawing" sensation and provide relief for maybe about a minute or so each time.
