After reading everyone's suggestions and after taking some advise from my Dr., I think I've found a little something to relieve the pain. It's works for, so hopefully someone else can benefit from it.
Start by cussing because the pain's coming back. I then go to the frig and take a good dose of Tabasco, swashing it around for the full affect. Next a blast from the nasal Imitrex (no comparison to the pills, BTW), pinching my nostrils to keep the dollars from dripping away. Next to the Jolly Ranchers, hopefully in time to catch that repulsive taste in my throat. Follow that with a few glasses of water, for the Tabasco and the medicine drain. Grab my frozen cloth from the freezer, gently holding it over my right eye, which feels like there's a baby inside kicking at my temple, with cleats on. Pace back and forth in front of an air vent to catch the coolness lost in trying to get everything together and taken while the pain bashes on. Sometimes, an inevitable toe-stump on the tableleg will rearrange the pain for a minute. Good luck.
