I would describe the pain as debilitating, excrutiating, searing pain which usually starts behind the eye, then spreading through the temple, and down the face through the jaw and teeth area. An example could be what a red-hot drill bit boring through your scull would feel like. At a verrrry slow speed. Add to this torturous experience nausea and vomiting at times, coupled with a droopy eye and a stuffy nasal passage. Then, just for kicks, you get to stick yourself with a needle to get rid of the pain!!! Oh joy!!! But that's not all!!! Because, maybe, just maybe you have built up a resistance to Imitrex..and it might not work this time. Have I really been awakened in the middle of the night to go through this hell....or am I just having a nightmare???
