"* ...when I began having migraines, I suffered a sudden slash of pain, very intense and quick on the right side of my head. It started at one point and webbed out to what it felt like a inch in length... it scared me.
* ...intense, sharp, stabbing pain about your skull, as if you were being stabbed with an ice pick.
* ...awakened at 3 a.m. by excruciating, stabbing pains on the top right front of my head, kind of behind the eye. lasted about 30 seconds.
They're "ice pick headaches." They are short, stabbing, extremely intense headaches that can be absolutely terrifying. They generally only last between five and 30 seconds. However, they come out of nowhere, can strike anywhere on the head, literally feel as if an ice pick is being stuck into your head, then disappear before you can even figure out what's happening. The pain can also seem to occur in or behind the ear.
International Headache Society's (IHS) criteria, the official name for them is "primary stabbing headache. "
so that's my day in a nutshell. i guess this is common in people who suffer from migraines. which blows because i take meds for it every damn day and still get this crap and sometimes migraines too.
