Your pattern is: Likely "Chronic Daily Migraines", which seem to be exacerbating. Time to break up this pattern, and several options available. Daily use of prescription meds or OTC preps such as riboflavin, butterbur, feverfew, magnesium, CoQ-10 may help, but Botox could also be considered. A neurologist who specializes in headaches is a great resource.
