This interests me, newtus, because it's pretty much the same pattern my headache pain follows. After initiating at both the forehead and the neck, it meets as a knot at my temples ... Then shoots out to the back of my eyes. From there it often becomes so bad that I "black out" I suppose and later (6-8 hrs) surface in a sleep state where I remain another 4-6 hrs.
These are not migraines, according to neurologists. I can't take any standard pain killers, like Vicodin--even one prescription dose sends me over the top to psychotic and into a psych unit.
Well, I guess they work--I forget the pain, but I forget where I am, who I am, who everyone else is, etc.
