Pain - KABOOM!

Holy crud - I just had pain in a way I've never had it before. And my ch is like clockwork - shadow, warning stab - boom....twice a day, once a night. Anyway...
It felt like a bomb - it just coursed through a slab of the side of my head. I had to kneel down - it took my breath away. I'm sure I howled because a colleague rushed over. But then it left just as fast.
It felt like Kip0 - Kip10 - Kip0 in 5 seconds.
Anyone have that happen before?

Well, if it happens again, and again, and again - check with your doctor.
I get that anywhere for 10 times a day to 10 times an hour. It's like a lightning bolt rips through the side of my head, I see white for about 2 seconds, then everything fades back in and I see stars for a few seconds. It is a condition known as Chronic Paloxysmous Hemicranea (CPH). A friend of mine calls it 'star wars' and can see it in my face when it happens. He'll just say "Ah, star wars?" Yeah.
Fun fun fun.

I had those stabs in the eye for a couple of months after my last cluster cycle.
I referred to them as "What the fuck was that!"
But I feel much better now

Well, I like the "star wars" and "wtf was that?" analogy...that's sure what it was...
Lovely, a NEW thing! Just when I was becoming really "comfortable (har har)" with the OLD thing.
This sure does make you learn how to be adaptable...

Yup, I call them zaps.
One time I had one so severe that I went into an instant panic. I almost ran out of my apartment screaming in the night. At that instant I felt like I lost my sanity. I get them frequently, but that one was so severe... let's just say that I'm glad it didn't last more than 8 seconds...
Sounds to me like SUNCT, which I believe sometimes accompanies CH, and is more common in clusterheads. It's another TAC.

Those are very normal for me for about 1 to 2 hours after my cluster leaves my head, I have named them "After Shocks" My wife knows every time i get one because i squint my right eye for a few seconds and then it disappears, She just says to me "Aftershock?" and i nod!!
Don't know if it is normal but it seems to be for me!!

I get them during my cycle also. Brings me to my knees for about 5 to 10 seconds and then is gone. Just a reminder during the day from the beast.
