Alex's Headaches

Alex went to the neurologist today, and he said that what he suffers from aren't migraines, but rather "Cluster Headaches."
Cluster headache - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The interesting part is contained below:

"Persons who have experienced both cluster headaches and other painful conditions (childbirth, migraines) report that the pain of cluster headaches is far worse, significantly more severe than a migraine. The pain has been described as akin to being stabbed repeatedly in the eye with an ice pick or hot poker. It has been described in medical journals as one of the most severe pain syndromes suffered by human beings."

Yikes. You poor motherfucker, Alex.
