I am a patient (not a medical professional!) who has been dealing with hemicrania continua since 2009. This causes constant head and facial pain on one side of the head 24/7. I am looking into occipital nerve stimulation as a treatment as I have tried everything else.

Addicted to ice packs
Is it a bad thing to be addicted to??? It seems I can only go a couple hours without using one for the past few weeks. I guess I jinxed myself saying I didn't have bad days all of the time. I need an ice pack that stays attached to my head all day long! Can't wait to meet with the new doc and see if he can help.

This would probably sound weird to anyone but a headache sufferer, but I've always thought how great it would be to have an icepack lined helmet. It would have to be very lightweight of course, maybe without even a hard shell, but basically just some contraption that could cover your whole head in icepacks at once.
Sounds great to me! My youngest daughter (6 years old)drew a picture for me with an invention she made that keeps an ice pack on your head all day and it stays cold. She says she is going to make this for me when she grows up as well as becoming a doctor to "fix" my head. If I can I will scan the picture in and post it!
