Something about the icy/hot thing with Vicks/Tiger Balm, etc. can sometimes stop the pain. I used to be a BIG devotee of ice myself but I think the heat works better for me. The only reason it came to me was triggered by a memory. My grandmother had migraines (she called them Rose Fever) and I remembered she used to tie strips of sheets...TIGHT around her head and put BenGay on her temple.
I realize now...some thirty years later...she probably had CH.
(word of caution...if you have sensitive skin or wear contacts...this is NOT for you)
