You have my understanding sympathies. Been there, done that. Used to be a regular in the ER with migraines (fully symptomatic with puking, hyper-sensitivity to light & noise, "Please, just make this pain STOP!" and a desire to rip my eye-balls -out.)
Could it have been a sodium solution via the IV? The last time I wound up in the ER with a migraine, they altered the treatment from the normal Demerol/Gravol and pumped me full of a sodium solution of some sort? Sorry, I don't recall the name of the drug, but it was a very welcome change because it relieved the migraine symptoms without drugging me out of coherance. I am a bit vague on some of the details (in that kind of pain, you tend not to take a lot of yakkity-yak in), but I recall the nurse saying something to me about the sodium altering the blood pressure &/or the pressure in the blood vessels? "The preferred solution to attempt first before narcotics..." Wish I could recall more, but it certainly worked.
Maybe one of the medical gurus here can flesh that out and enhance the details?
