I also suffer from migraines, although not nearly as severe as yours. I strongly recommend you look into kratom for pain management. I generally take a small dose of two grams alongside 200mg ibuprofen and a 10 hour headache will usually disappear within 30-60 minutes. I won't promise that you'll get the same results, but if you're desperate, kratom is relatively benign, cheap, and helps for all kinds of pain.

I would but I don't want to run afoul of any legal issues. Plus I'm on stuff that may interfere. My current regiment is working pretty well.
My latest abortive measure was to apply infrared heat to my trapezius muscle (all the way up to my forehead), tens to the base of the trapezius and back of my neck, and go into the "crocodile" yoga pose for an hour. (I used a very light pillow to make it more comfortable). It took doing all of that over the course of 60-90 minutes and the migraine subsided.
