I've had a migraine for longer than that. Nothing worked to get rid of it. I was in bed with the heating pad on the back of my neck and an ice bag on top of my head. I wanted to die.
The Dr.finally gave me something to try and knock me out so I could sleep (sleep it off too).
I've taken Imitrex but it did nothing to help my headache. It was back in the day where it was only available in an injection form. I'd give myself the shot and it would space me out so bad that I couldn't get the needle back in the case.
Tried Depekote (sp), bata-blockers, calcium channel blockers, none of them helped. Now I have some good narcotics that I take. Sometimes they work sometimes they don't.
Best advice... take the meds as soon as you feel the headache start. Most meds won't help once the headache is in full swing. A nice hot shower helps too.
Great website Tony. There is some real good information on there.
Hope you feel better!

Try having migraines on a monthly basis, guys. Especially when they run anywhere from 24 to 87 hours in length.
I'm with you on that one! Not fun! Mine last about that long also but I get them many times in a month.
