Just keep in mind that you really are strong enough and you really can get through it, even on the most awful, horrible days! A good friend told me, "Nothing here will kill you and sooner or later it will pass." I use that as a mantra whenever I experience migraines and vertigo, because when I am in the middle of a dizzying migraine, it is my whole world and it feels like forever. I need to repeat, over and over, that I am strong and that I will move through this, I will move past this, and it will end, and I will have relief, no matter how long it takes. It is very scary when it's happening. But I desperately cling to that mantra that it will be over soon - even if "soon" means hours later.
Everything else is completely personal and individual! Whatever you find that works for you, you should definitely stay with.
I have discovered that a cheap way to help with migraines is to take Aleve or Advil with Benadryl together, which is basically the ingredients in some expensive prescription migraine drugs. It may or may not work for you! Meclizine is essentially an anti-histamine, so it makes sense.
