Hi all, this cycle (just starting ugh) is marking an 8 year timespan but things are a little different. First of all, I have an attack but some of the pain, an annoying feeling but not extremely painful just seems to linger. Second, every once in a while I'm getting like a stabbing, electric shock like feeling in my head. It is so hard to describe...its really fast, it doesn't put me in as much pain as the cluster but it stops me in my tracks. I'm not even quite sure how to explain this accurately.It used to be, I'd have an attack, it would be over and besides sometimes having vertigo, or a left over burning sensation in my temple..I'd be so happy it was over and I would feel fine..not so any more. PLus I used to go in cycle once a year...always around march..now I'm pushing, twice a year for 3 months or more at a time. Could I be turning chronic?? omg I hope not ..but that stabbing shock feeling, that worries me al;ot..so please, any input would be welcomed.Thank you, Rachel N.
