      “Cluster headaches”

      Sitting in my closet, rocking back and forth waiting for it to be over. Exactly the same, I told my wife afterwards “If I’d had an ice pick, I would have shoved it through my eye.”

      My dad once caught my mom fumbling through a drawer in the night looking for a gun to ease the pressure in her head.

      I get left side migraines that last a day or two; ice picks behind an ear that last a few seconds - worse if I’m going between hot/cold areas a lot like in/out of buildings; and ocular migraines, usually if I’ve been upside down - looks like I’m looking through camo mesh for awhile and then a dull headache for a few hours. I mostly use cbg, water, and a little caffeine; then Aleve and Tylenol; then maxalt.
