When the barometer drops with a big storm, I get storm migraines like Nirvana. I had one episode of cluster headaches back in med school. While they were going on they occurred at precisely the same time each day (3:01 am, I remember well) and lasted 40 minutes; then one day they just stopped. They were bang-your-head-against-the-wall excruciating, but the good thing is you know they'll be gone in a few minutes. A really bad migraine (some of which have also made me bang my head against a wall) that continues through sleep and goes on for hours or days is worse, I think, if only because the misery is prolonged and you don't know when it'll end.
The bone pain from Neulasta on my first chemo cycle (later cycles weren't as bad) and my worst couple of migraines are the worst pains I've ever had. Labor and surgery were easier.
