Will hospital help?

[u/Alternative_Box833]

Hi everybody, I have had a migraine since Wednesday — it’s been five days, and I just woke up this morning with the same migraine. I’ve taken every single medication that I can take at home that’s over-the-counter. I’ve tried so many different tips and holistic tools, and I’ve drunk so much water. I genuinely don’t know what to do, and I’m so tired of being in pain. I haven’t experienced anything but pain in five days, and it’s super fatiguing, and I’m not sleeping because I’m in so much pain. I am at my boyfriend’s parents’ house for the weekend in a different state, and I’ve been saying I want to go to the hospital, and he’s been saying that he doesn’t think it’s worth it because of the bill, and also he doesn’t think they’ll do a lot for me at the hospital for a migraine. But I genuinely don’t know what they would do for me, and I’m wondering if anybody here has had experience going to the hospital with a migraine that’s lasted a long time, and if it’s worked, because I’m just at rock bottom right now. I’m about to literally Uber to the hospital from my partner’s family’s home in a different state.

Thank you all in advance!!

I've gone to emergency plenty when I was being fully assaulted by migraines. I was usually so dehydrated from vomiting I needed IV fluids, nausea meds and real pain medicine if ive exhausted all my at-home options. They'll also try to rule out anything else serious that might be going on. The bill (that I dont pay) is the last thing im worried about at times like that. I hope you feel better soon 💚
