here is the tranlation according to google tranlator i used:


It is the cumulative headache, a rare type of headache (2-5 cases per 10,000 inhabitants), generally afflicting men in five frequently than women.

• What can it mean
Usually it is a primary headache, ie not due to another cause (eg a problem in the eyes).

• Symptoms
O patient complains of an acute pain which focus on one eye (with the obvious accompanying symptoms, as δακρύζει eye, eyelid falls, etc.) keep half to two hours and can be reached to cause even the 7 crises day. The striking is that the cumulative headache can be a thorn for a man 2 or 3 months, 2-3 times a day, then not appear for 1-2 years and then return for another such period. Important role in causing this headache is smoking and drinking.

• How treated
O suffering, it is important not only to cope, because threatening to happen eventually headaches from the misuse of drugs. Should be addressed in a special (general practitioner, neurologist) or else into a headache (available in major hospitals of our country). O doctor, taking the history and subjecting him to a good clinical examination, will try to exclude any possibility of secondary headache. If you have doubts can ask to make some more specific tests (eg, magnetic, blood tests, etc.). In each case, treatment has three parts: The first part is about addressing the crisis (ie pain), while the second part, where the crises are frequent, consisting of prophylactic treatment. The third part of the treatment has to do with non-drug methods, psychotherapy, relaxation techniques, yoga, alternative therapies such as acupuncture, homeopathy, etc., as these help to better balance the body.

• Who
All men, but usually very masculine, tall, strapping, brunette, who are very special sentimentalism, which resembles that of a child. That is why in the past, experts call it a hangover «lion-mouse syndrome».

(Well what do you expect?  You left it WIDE open for me!)

  i really cant find a title for this

How about "Old article with dubious information, poorly translated!" - yup, there is some humor there.  The idea that clusterheads tend to have a "lion-like face" is something that was proposed a long time ago ... not much evidence for it, but some people still refer to it like it was a useful fact.

I saw an essay once where somebody kept translating a text back and forth from one language to another using the online free services - the text eventually stabilizes, but does not have the same meaning as the original.

Yep Joe and you'd best bring your STUN GUN!!!! I think you're in a heap of trouble.......
