Short jabbing headaches

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Bethal, ZA

Hi guys,
Does anyone struggle with ice pick headaches with their fibromyalgia once in a while. A sudden severe headache on the side of your head that comes on suddenly and only for a few seconds?

I get them but not every day and sometimes only once or twice on that day?

Members enthusiastically confirmed experiencing sudden, severe ice pick headaches as part of their fibromyalgia, with many describing the terrifying sensation as feeling like being stabbed in the temple and fearing they might be having an aneurysm. Several members shared that these headaches strike randomly and unpredictably, sometimes severe enough to bring tears, occurring in different locations around the head and lasting only seconds at a time. One member mentioned the connection to SUNCT Syndrome and cluster headaches, suggesting a possible familial link and encouraging others to research this condition.
