a cluster headache is one that centers around one or both eyes. Medically speaking, it is classified as easily becoming more painful than migraines, causes sensitivity to light and sound and nausea/vomiting. I get these usually once a week but never so intense as today. Sitting in writing class my left temple began pulsating a sharp pain that continued completely around my left eye. I couldn't open my eye because the light hurt so badly, so I sat there rubbing my eyebrow with my closed eye tearing. I was so uncomfortable despite 200 mg of advil that i couldn't think straight. I had to stay in class though since he was going over the assigned essay due next week. All I could envision was that dwarf from lord of the rings crashing a large wooden mallet onto a large wooden spike that was positioned over my temple. i left about a half hour early when he announced it was time to get into groups which takes much much patience from me. (patience has a way of escaping me in times of blinding pain.)
also, when experiencing a headache of this magnitude, i decided that the girl walking behind me in flip flops had two choices (1.) pick her freaking feet up when she walked! or (2.) watch me rip them off her feet and chuck them onto the roof of GVT.
possibly alcohol could fix this problem in the future, as a weekend of nightly pass outs seemingly corrected my chronic back pain.
for now, my headache has receded and all is well in daynaworld. :c)
vegas minus seventeen days.
