This may sound crazy but when my brain fog/irritation calms down, I can feel three stabbing spots on different areas of the head where the irritation seems to originate from.

Doesn't sound crazy.. same thing happens to me and gets worse with more pressure... the only thing so far that relieves pressure is alcohol and is cheaper than any med i have tried for sure.. .however, i have succumbed to the idea of a lumbar puncture... you may seriously want to consider especially if you have papledemia...
