Title: Description of MY headaches
Post by Squale on Nov 15^th, 2002, 4:29pm

When someone doubts the pain I experience,I describe it as drilling a hole into my temple,and then feels like someone is pouring hot oil into the hole,oil that is hot enough to fry food(like a splatter on your arm while cooking).Can you relate?

Yes, I feel heated up to as well as intense pain.

Here is what my pain feels like:

I shoot straight up out of bed from a deep sleep around 11:30PM. My eyeball feels like it is going to explode. I push my thumb into my eye socket and press the blood vessels on the side of my nose. I reach behind my head and press my fingers into the lower right side of my head, just above my neck. I am restless, hopeless, and exhausted, and suffer through the next hour and a half.

My body temperature seems to get hotter and I have stood outside in freezing temperatures just to keep my mind off the pain and am not even cold. My eyelid sags, my nose gets stuffed, and my eye gets all pink. The pain is unreal.

Yes we all hurt like hell. I remember once waking up in shock from the pain, leaped out of bed, ran out the front door and buried the whole side of my head in the snow- how embarassing :o
