I don't know your health insurance sitch, but there are some great drugs out there. Imitrex is a good one; I relied on it for years, but it had a lot of unpleasant side effects for me. Now I use Midrin; its only side effect is some drowsiness, which comes with the migraine anyway.
I spent years dealing with migraines. They are unacceptable. If you can, find someone to prescribe some Midrin for you. It is a lifesaver. In the midst of all this taking care of other people, remember that it's good to take care of yourself, too.
I can totally understand the panicky feeling that if everything isn't solved Right Now, all will slip away. Think back, however, to all the times that you've solved projects and challenges that one little cliched step at a time.
You're being so brave, Dawn. Hang in there.
I've got NRE, so I'm channeling some of my happy energy up your way.
