It is cruel!!!  I know exactly what you mean.  I felt normal for a few days..but then out of the blue....it came back with a vengance!!!  Thought maybe I would try to actually go to work today, but the way I'm feeling right now, not sure that's going to happen.  I also think stress has a lot to do with when the symptoms come, at least in my case.  This morning started off stressful, so now I feel like crap..AGAIN!!

Hope you get to feeling better!!!!

Hi - I totally agree! Today is very humid in the northeast and it adds to the pressure in my head. THerefore I just dont' have the "zaps" across the back of my skull but a major pressure HA as well. My goal is to make it thru the work day, trying to keep still is my only hope.
