Hi,
Please answer. I have random sharp pains in my head. Anyone else experience them?
See my post "Nothing after 18 years" Thanks.

I hope you can get answers! I will go read your other post. Have you had MRI or other testing to see if they can figure what these pains are caused by?

I get stabbing pains in the lower right side of my head. I have been consistantly experiencing it in the exact same spot for years. It doesn't last long, just like a needle was jabbed in maybe once or twice. It has come in clusters of maybe 10 minutes of repetitive jabs. What scares me most is that it seems to affect the right side of my face, my right eyelid will uncontrollably close or flutter. I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 28 and 5 months pregnant with my 3rd child. Never had a seizure before then, just a grand mal that landed me in the ER. I have been on many different meds and I have been seizure free (that I know of) for nearly 2 years. As for how long these pains have come and gone, I can't remember (another problem of mine!).

I have had them hit my right forhead. It would even make it sensitive to touch. However I get them in other places in my head also.
