Idiopathic stabbing headaches

For the past month and a bit I have been having headaches virtually every day. The thing is, they're very brief (a few seconds to a couple minutes) so by the time I get a hold of an Advil, the headache is gone. Just in case, I had it checked out by my doctor. Apparently, what I have are "Icepick Headaches". Yeah. Because it feels like someone has stuck an icepick in my head.
According to researchers, they believe it's caused by nerve inflammations in my brain. Yeah. They're not really sure yet. But they're sure it's nothing serious, it should go away in time. And if they really start to bug me, my doctor suggested taking Advil twice a day.
Lovely, no?
