I have been having pain similar to likes brain freeze from cold cold ice cream has anyone ever had this please let me know

hi, my husband had a ruptured annie Nov 8th this year, he still is having struggles with his recovery. When you called it Brain Freeze that's exactly what he calls it. He has headaches, but sometimes he just hurts like the hurt from eating ice cream to fast. when we talk about with our kids young adults, we refer to his annie as his "brain freeze" interesting you use the same terms, I think everyone experience can be a bit different, have you had brain injury, or anything related to this?

Do you have any other cold reactions ...body temp issues?

Many of us have talked / shared...a hubby, John Wright from UK provided some info her doctors provide on the hypothalamus area of our brain (the limbic system) and control/monitor of our body temps...very helpful...you may want to go to Members to John Wright...

Prayers you will get more response...

hey my husband should be getting better but we're really still struggling, he has horrible headaches, lack of energy, not wanting to go anywhere, he says he feels OK when I ask him but I can tell by how he looks that he feels like crap. We've been married almost 30 yrs so you get to know how he's feeling just by looking at him. It so breaks my heart that you wife and kids don't understand more, but I am in their shoes. I hear what he says, I see his difficulty with memory and logic, but it just some times makes me angry. I didn't think recovery would be like this, I spent the month in the hospital with him and when we finally got home I thought it would go back to normal and it's not even close, now it's almost been 6 mths and we are still struggling. Try to keep talking to them, explain exactly how if feels, when I ask my husband how did it go today and he's says fine, but then when we go back to the doc he talks about all these other experience and difficulties hes having and I just say why don't you tell me that. All I can say is that being a caretaker to my husband has been one of the hardest things I've dealt with. I just want it to be back to normal and I want it to happen sooner and it doesn't, frustration, fear, unexpected changes is part of the not understanding. I know it's you that has suffered the annie but they went thru it right with you, try to talk about how they feel/felt about the it. Trust me most of the not understanding or wanted to is complete fear, every time my husband has his bad headaches and looks like crap I'm scared to death, sometime's just trying to "ignore" it or just try to separate from it is the only escape we have. I'm sorry this is so hard for everyone. Take care, prayers for you and your family. let me know how it's going. its' hard for everyone.
