its a series of painful - rather than aching 'attacks' that occurs in the head,usually localised around one point (in my case the right hand side, adjacent to the eye).
The pain tends to be underlying all the time, from waking up through until sleeping.
In my case, the pain tends to last in 3-4 months bursts at a time, and you have to get used to it,
but you do get a lot of 'sharper attacks' during the
day. I've had the whole gamut of drugs/scans and the like, and was told earlier this year
that there wasn't a lot that could be done.
Thankfully now, I'm 4 months in to a 'good' period
