Has anyone any knowledge of this? Apparently one of the most painful conditions known to man. BIL has it and sister says it's like someone keeps applying electric shocks to his head.

I've known a few sufferers , and for all I know it is indeed extremely painful and disabling.

Read a little on it, mostly over 50s, but rare cases of 3 year olds. Bad enough in an adult, but toddlers.

Many years ago, I had to go and do an assesment on a lady at the request of her GP. She suffered immensely from it, as well as Type 1 diabetes.
She matter of fact told me, that once the pain got too much, and too persistent she was going to end it with insulin. She had it for years, and explained the pain it causes, it was the first time I'd spoke very to someone who suffered with it, bloody awful thing to have.

I think there are varying degree's mate, this particular lady was a lot older, and was a bit more complex. Certainly spooked me that day though, actively suicidal, with a plan, but not detainale under the MHA.
