A fine way to start the day

Woken at half-five by a particularly choice migraine.

Bastard.

Then get off the internet and lie down, you daft person.

Did that. Has anything happened while I've been asleep? (Not much point being awake if you can't do anything.)

Ow. Stuck at home recuperating, or sitting in your cube grating your teeth ?

Home, thankfully.

You know the Izzard joke about Trek phasers set to 'limp' or 'bad cough'? A Migraine Rifle, that's what you want.

I would not be surprised to learn that the non-lethal (but frankly bloody tiresome) weapons labs of the US military-industrial complex are working on same even now.

That's a very nasty thought.

I bet they already have Migraine Smog Grenades on the shelf, ready for the day they decide Geneva doesn't apply to them any more.

Oy! I hope you can sleep it off. :(

I recommend:

a) sleep ( earplugs and eyeshades if you've now become the human noise/light sensor )
b) caffine
c) OTC drugs
d) chocolate (if you like it)
e) imitrex
f) a massage (i think sailor mur goes and gets chiro done)

The only thing I've ever found that helps with 'wake-me-the-fuck-up' headaches is a 0.457mm drill at 1600rpm. Location of bore hole varies, but directly between the eyes is always a popular choice.

Alternately, there's full excraniation, but that's a bit drastic. Should only really be used in cases where the headache is threatening to escape and get other people.
