Did you ever find this? I have looked and I can't come up with anything that sounds like this.
Most people cannot even function with a migraine - sm
I don't think you have what most of us would call a migraine. As I said you cannot function at all with a migraine. I get them from time to time; with mine onset is seeing spots, vision effects, then within 20-30 minutes my head just starts to pound. The only cure for me is to sleep. I have old migraine medication that used to take when I felt one coming one and it would circumvent it(this is when I was getting them monthly). Now I only get them once a year or so. Never had a stiff neck, just felt like my head was going to split open and could not see very well because of the spots/halos. Now I take what I have left of my old prescription and also Advil Migraine when I feel one coming on, works great. I am not sensitive to sound when I have a migraine, just light. If you still feel crappy today go to the ER. I would not wait until Wednesday in order to save your insurance company $. I hope you feel better.
Muscle relaxants could help also. I am on migraine medicine too but...
if it is caused by your muscles trapping the occipital nerve, injections would help, both diagnostically and therapeutically. They would then know how to proceed with your next step in treatment. The stimulator was a miracle until the lead wires moved. If the injections do not help, it rules out one type of headache and on to the next. I use Cafergot for my migraines with aura (a whole different headache altogether), but that has been discontinued now. I really wish you luck!

make it up, no problem. I am glad I work at home during those times.
