I have had two. Mine came on FAST.... I threw up every half hour or so, it felt like some one was picking at my brain with an ice pick... I couldn't stand noise, but being alone and quiet made me focus on the pain worse.
My husband massaging my head helped it go away but it was very bad and I could not function.
They only lasted about 5 hours or so... once they peaked they seemed to slowly SLOWLY go away.... Very scary.
My doctor told me if this ever happens again to go the the ER....
