My CH's are also always a 10. The pain is always the same, it never shows me any mercy. I know when it is coming and within 5 minutes it will hit and I start with the same level of agony that I have two hours later. It is impossible to compare it to any other pain, that's why you can't explain it to a non-CH. When I tell friends that it feels like there is something in my head trying to get out, it is slowly cracking its way thru several different spots in my head, they usually look at me like I am just trying to be dramatic. All I know is that it is the only pain I have ever had that I felt that if it hurts one degree more I surely would have to die. I have whispered before to my mother that I wanted to be dead. Which I know must tear my mother up. I'm afraid of what I might do someday if I'm left alone with a CH.
