My headaches have become erratic hitting at strange times not making any sense, right eye an temple was still tender from last nights doozy. Made this one nearly unbearable, was like there was a blockage swelling dramatically. Took imigran tablet sometime through as I was woken in pain, has completely gone still alittle tender.

Completely smashed with pain, took 1 imigran tablet and 2 strong pain killers. Eye watering like crazy, heaps of snot. Body and head sweated profusely. Still feeling rocked hard, feel as though a bus just ran over my head, backed back over and ran over again and again and again, worst one since having nerve block so obviously numbing the pain with that be prepared for the beast that comes to visit coz he ain't taking no prisoners. Feel the pain

Major pain in eye and temple, took 2 strong pain killers did nothing. Nearly went to hospital from fear of nerve block having adverse reaction but rode it out. Obviously the block is wearing off dramatically and headaches becoming fiercer and fiercer. Did not use sumatriptan as only have one left
