I'm interested if anyone ever gets a 5 to 10 second cluster sitting at the computer or worse, driving to work. Ive experienced these during the middle of a cylcle and frankly they scare the hell out of me when I'm driving, I normaly greet the beast around 1 hour after bedtime but occassionaly I have these breif reminders during the day of whats to come. I'll feel a shadow explode breifly, stabbing my eye and shattering my teeth. As you all know driving is impossible during this kind of agony.
Sound familiar anybody? ???

It's just the Beast tickling you, reminding you who's boss. I've had em - just brief flashes that go away. Or, as Jonny says, they could be ice pick headaches associated with cranial paroxysmal hemicrania a doc could tell probably. Have you been diagnosed with CH and do they follow the traits (see links at left)? Good luck - Jim R

Two or three times a year, I get a pretty sharp zing right in cluster territory. They last less than five seconds and I'm not at all sure these have anything to do with CH. It's not a problem, just something I notice.

I get them on rare occassions. Tend to concern the hell out of me when I'm driving. I agree with jonny and jim on this one.
If it's constant -- see a dr. to be sure. Meds will (can) keep it in check.

Too short duration to be CPH or EPH.. Possibly SUNCT, which has similar pain and symptoms as other TACs, but lasts for a much shorter duration. Or could be Stabbing Headache, which is basically a brief, few second, piercing headache. Cluster and migraine sufferers are more prone to occasional stabbing headaches than others.

Could be cluster-tic syndrome.
