3:53 A.M.

| 3 Comments

So here I am at 3:53 in the morning, unable to sleep. This is the second day of the strangest headache I’ve ever had. It’s rare that I get a headache, but this one is centered behind my left eye. It came on suddenly, and the pain is piercing, severe, and intermittent. My jaw on that side also hurts, as does my neck, but to a lesser degree.

When the head pain hits, it’s excruciating. Thank goodness it’s not constant or I wouldn’t be able to stand it.

Any suggestions?

  1. Hot shower then ice pack on the back of the neck

  2. If this is a new sort of headache affecting your eye and your neck and it lasts much longer, it may be time to visit a doctor.
    Headache is horrible (migraine sufferer) but you shouldn’t have to put up with it.
    Sounds as though it might be a neck problem.

  3. They say when it is not normal and something like this go immediately to the hospital :( Hope you did and are feeling better by now
