I need help on keeping a log of the pains in my head. Friday I started to get a different pain to where it felt like someone was rubbing really hard with their knuckles where I would get that sharp pain. The severity of it would change.

However I logged each time it happened. And Friday it happened 46 times this does not include the ones at night. They would last from a few seconds to a minute or two. However with these I don't get dizzy I just have the pain.

This weekend I had just as many with still the needle prickling in my cheek that now is going towards my mouth. But comes and go.

Do I log all this, what I'm doing at the time of it?

The more information you can log, the better able a Neuro will be to home in on the cause. Definitely note down EVERY attack, and how long they last, seconds or minutes - it all counts. And if you are doing a specific task - eating, brushing teeth, going out in the cold - and that triggers an attack, write that down as well.
It may seem like a lot of writing, but your Neuro will be grateful and he will be able to get you on the correct treatment as soon as possible.

Dave.

Hi kdodrill

I agree with Dave - keep a record of everything that you are doing/experiencing when you get those pains.

The more information that you can give your neurologist the better. That will help him/her to figure out what is going on and then work with you to find a solution.
