Migraines!

I woke up with a migraine the size of Texas this morning!  It's completely debilitating because you can't get up or open your eyes, much less talk.  I had to call in, I couldn't help it.  I absolutely avoid calling in sick because it makes me feel unreliable and then I feel bad that there's people counting on me at work and now I'm not showing up, but today was one of those days.  There was no way around it.  Anyway, how many of you suffer from migraines?  What kinds of remedies do you use to feel better?  I've tried taking Advil and just sleeping it off, but sometimes that doesn't work.  Any advice?
