Tried Every OTC Migraine Relief, Only Makes It Worse. Skull Cracked, Blood Spots In Brain. Intense Pain. Treatment ?

All of the women in my mother's immediate family suffer from severe chronic migraines. When I was a teenager I would get them every now and then, but for the past 2 years or so I will have at least 3 a month (and that's not even counting headaches) and the migraines last 3 days. I have tried every OTC migraine relief I could find, and have also tried a few types of triptans and ergots but they seem to make it worse. I don't know if this would matter but when I was 4 my skull was cracked and I bled on three spots in my brain. The pain is so severe and intense and I don't know how much longer in can take the pain. Also, I'm not sure if this would qualify to make an emergency room visit or wait a few weeks before I can see my general doctor.
