I always get the pain in the EXACT same place each time, just behind my right eye, and it feels like I'm being stabbed over and over again with an ice pick.

Had them for the last 20+ years, and I would do ANYTHING to get rid of them. I get Botox near the trigger points, i have a pure oxygen tank with full mask to try and stop the attacks, I carry Imitrex injections while I'm having an episode, I've taken different concoctions of pills as suggested by my neurologist, but I haven't heard of this yet. You can bet I'll look into it though...
Do you drink a lot of coffee or consume MSG? Have you had your eyesight checked? Do you take a lot of Aspirin?
