Lasts for a second and is shooting upwards, above my ear. Does it sound like a migraine?

I get that occasionally, when I feel dehydrated. Have you drunk plenty of water lately? Also, eye strain gives me shooting headaches sometimes

No, just one rather large coffee today I'll go and stick my head under the tap!

Thankyou

Pardon the pun but it might be your nerves - that is, a kind of neuralgia? Doesn't sound like migraine (or a least the migraine I get)

I have MS, the 'normal' nerve pain I get is burning because they misfire so I've no idea. It's starting to p*ss me off though. I didn't sleep well so it could be this, a helicopter was flying over the houses at 2am and ds was up at 6am I might have a snooze for half an hour and see if it goes away (once I pull myself away from here)

Hope you feel better soon

Thankyou.

I had a big drink, now I'm going to have a nap until I need to leave to collect ds from school. Nighty night!

My mum had neuralgia - very painful but nothing serious. Hope it's something like that.

Thankyou.
It's still there, I've resorted to Ibuprofen.
