in my experience marijuana is highly unpredictable/variable in it's effect on a headache or migraine. there have been times when i've smoked as i felt a migraine coming on and it worked almost like magic. but on the other hand there have been times when smoking instantly flipped the pain switch into TURBO-TIME.

Oh gosh, you're actually lucky you get "auras" beforehand because there are medications out that are supposed to be dosed right when you start feeling that weird shift in perception. I was on a nasal spray called Immitrex for this purpose, but I didn't always pick up on the auras at the time, and once you're past a certain point it's very hard to find a medication that will actually stop a migraine. I've heard shrooms are good, but I've never taken then for this purpose and I can't testify to their effectiveness with migraines in general.
The only bit of advice I can give you is to take an OTC migraine medicine with caffeine until you can get in to see a neurologist. I'm sure your GP would precribe immitrex or other migraine meds - I've always just been referred to neurologists, though. And they are certainly not without side effects :/.
Mj will make me more likely to be able to sleep a migraine off, but it doesn't get rid of the pain for me.

Might be cluster headaches, psychedelics generally help with those.
NO, Just NO. Those arnt cluster headaches, I dont think you understand exactly how painful cluster headaches are.
Exactly what I was thinking being a 4 almost 5 year chronic sufferer myself of chronic clusters .... The vision is only the beginning with those things... Fortunately I have been able to use mushies weekly to decrease the amount of attacks tremendously (I get maybe 2 attacks a week versus the 8 I had a day).
OP make sure you have been to a doctor and what not... it could be something more serious, seriously. Imitrex works for quite a few people if you cant use psych's... but honestly dont think your going to feel any better using that shit, yea your headaches are gone but now you have a whole list of other fucked up side effects. At least the mushies are enjoyable without fucked up side effects.

I get those too and man do they suck... it's like impossible to do anything remotely productive. Thankfully pain meds work. I can feel right when they are coming on so I pop some meds--excedrin migraine for example-- and it stops them.

Mine too. I have found that low doses of shrooms abort migraines. I have done it multiple times and it works quite well.
