Yeah, I agree with Stephanie - I would talk to your doctor, and possibly call the ER.  Headaches can be a symptom of something more serious than a flare - I know, sounds weird to say that, but a flare is simply inflammation of the brain.  A headache could indicate that you've had a small stroke.

I think the general medical advice is if you ever have a headache that is "the worst ever" you should go to the ER.  If the meds aren't helping, I'd head out to the hospital if I were you.

Good luck.
