Neuralgia
Hi homesick rae,
Your symptoms are very similar to the ones I have to put up with. In fact I suffer of neuralgia generally caused by having my head in a draught. Driving my car, for example, with the window slightly opened and having just a little air hitting my head will no doubt cause 2 or 3 days later serious pain in my head on the left side. As a matter of fact I then can hardly touch my hair as this would create something like a very very painful electrical wave. It just lasts a few seconds, but it's intermittent. We are now entering autumn and I have to cover my head with a hat whenever I go out until next May. This can last up to 2 weeks during which I will take a few "Doliprane" tablets (equivalent of Aspirin but with Paracetamol).
