That's a string of migraines. According to my doctor, you can't have a single migraine for more than 4 days. But, yes, having migraines for many days really sucks.

I will pray for you. My mother use to get ocular migraines that would even affect her site. I can sympathize. 

I get the severe "Migraine with Aura" that makes people think that I'm a drunkard because it screws up my motor functions and slurs my speach. And if it goes on long enough, I end up throwing up most anything I try to eat or drink. I take some prescribed painkillers to handle them when I get one, but if I can catch one coming on while it's still a dull pain, a few Excedrin Migraine will do the trick. Otherwise, they're like shooting a BB gun at an aircraft carrier. And sometimes, I just get hit out of nowhere with one, with none of the onset warnings. Just WHAM, like someone hit me in the head with a hatchet and left it in there...

I've been taking Topamax to help curb the frequency of my migraines. It's actually helped by cutting the frequency to about half, at the lowest dosage. I think the next time I'm up for a refill, I'll ask the doctor about bumping the dosage up, since I haven't been having any side effects with it, or any interactions with my other meds.

And I do believe that prayers and well-wishing do help a little, if only to help lift the spirits of those being prayed for and wished well.
