I thought only Trotsky got those
Dude, I am happy as hell for you that it took this long to experience one.
weird, i get headaches where it feels like the only solution is an icepick through the top my eyeball. sweet, sweet death.
“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.”
That’s nice, dear.
Thought I was having an aneurysm. Nope, an “ice pick headache”. It happens all of a sudden – for me, at my temple for 10 seconds – and then goes away.
If I don’t comment after this, please send help.
Lol same, I always think oh crap an aneurysm is gonna pop now. First time I hear of this kind of headache.
I feel it helps imagining that you breathe into the picking area.
For me, my headache/migraines w/e, are like pseudo ice-pick or I have a high pain tolerance (I also have fibro). But feels ocular, it’s always only one eye or the other that hurts. 🙂↔️
MRI/MRA were clean too so at least there’s that for me.
I get them frequently around this time of year and found that making myself as cold as possible is the only thing that helps. I usually use an ice pack, water, and a fan first (with my head buried in a pillow to block out any sound) and if that’s not enough, I’ll go sit outside on the porch in a tshirt until I cool off and it goes away. It’s super weird but it works.
Same! It’s usually my right eye, and if I close it it helps. Doesn’t stop entirely, but dampens it quite a bit.
