Migraines almost always suck. In addition, first migraines can be terrifying. I take it you've never had one before?
bram452 had a migraine a long time ago, and his friends took him to the hospital where the docs tried to kill him with an overdose of (I think) thorazine. "Hm. That didn't help? Well, here, we'll dose you again." After the fourth dose, his friends pointed out that he wasn't grey when they brought him in, and upon realizing his blood pressure was now terrifyingly low, the docs decided to cut that out. (Ah, Albuquerque...)
I've been told that once the pain kicks in, there's basically nothing that can be done. IME, the best way to ride it out is sleep, assuming you can sleep when invisible gnomes are trying to pull your skull apart with crowbars and insufficient explosives. If it happens again, you'll recognize the preliminary symptoms. That's the time to get some meds in you (a healthy dose of ibuprofen for me) and hit the sack. Since you don't live alone, you might also want to warn your household that if you are awoken before the pain subsides, you may have to kill anyone who happens to be nearby, and if you do they shouldn't take it personally.
Now that it's past (and hopefully it stays there), take it easy for a day, avoid stress where you can, wear shades if you need to and try not to sneeze.
