head pain
Do any of you have head pain? I can't call it a headache, as I think they 'pound'. This is a pain that hits fast and hard and covers my entire head. Some times it only lasts a few minutes and other times I take something for it. It tends to hits at night or quickly after waking up.

Re: head pain
This happens to me sometimes, the pain is extreme but very short-lived (lasts only a few seconds), but painful enough to make me cry out or fall down. I can't imagine living with this pain if it were to last longer.Misstazz wrote:Do any of you have head pain?
I also get cluster headaches that come in groups over a few days, these are located behind my left eye and usually start at night. These sometimes turn into migraines that I treat with Maxalt MLT. I take about 600mg verapamil daily to reduce the cluster headache episodes. When I get the severe head pain, I wonder if they are related to the cluster headaches, but I don't know.
I'm sorry this happens to you, I'd bring it up with a neurologist or headache specialist.

Re: head pain
This is a good write-up on headaches and multiple sclerosis:

I didn't know that cluster headaches tend to be associated with lesions in the area of the brain where the trigeminal nerve originates, this is the nerve associated with tic doloureaux.

Re: head pain
Thank you, I appreciate it. I also have Stiff Person Syndrom and I asked my dr about the cause of this pain. He said it was more likely the SPS. As it effects all parts of the body with muscle spasms.
