ita, has this been ruled out for you? This is from Dave White's lj and when I read it I was like, oh god, that sounds nightmarishly familiar.
I have a friend named Travis with a medical condition called "pseudotumor cerebri," which basically means his cerebrospinal fluid pressure is too high.
I've never heard of this happening to anyone before, so I assume it's rare. And the result, according to him, is the feeling like someone is using a jackhammer on his head 24 hours a day. It means he's had a brutal migraine since February, non-stop, had to miss tons of work and he went on a drastically reduced schedule with a concurrent cut in pay. Then he had to stop working entirely. Which equals poverty.
There are no drugs yet for this condition, at least not ones that have worked on him, only barely effective pain management.

Will's a friend, so I will post what feels comfortably like public conversation. There are some personal things going on which I of course, can't share online without invading his privacy.
Oh, of course, Scrappy. We wouldn't want you to violate confidences in any way. I was just speculating on how interesting it would be to know what was going on in his head. But we definitely don't want to impinge on your friendship with a private person. We're mostly reacting to his statements in public fora.
And I usually love lemon things! Something about the ratio of buttercream to tartness is all wrong for me.
The lemon zest in it is my only complaint--but yeah, much tarter than the lemon ice cream of my youth.
lisahhhhhhh! I think Rachel's matchmaking....
Oh, Christ, Strega. That sounds worse than what I have. But I'll mention it to my doctor when I see him tomorrow.
WHY IS IT ONLY 6:30? I WANT TO TRY SLEEPING AGAIN.
I wish I could teleport ativan to you, or something.
lisahhhhhhh! I think Rachel's matchmaking....
ahahahhahaha. With who??? And, really, she usually knows what she's doing!
Well, she just asked if I was single. I'll play along. For now.
