  Illness	TIC DOLOUREAX or BROW-AGUE The pain is located over the eye and about the temple. If the pain takes the sensation of a nail driven into the head in these localities it is called clavus. hemicrania, megrim or sick headache, is not acknowledged by all authorities as a form of neuralgia, neither is it settled whether disturbances of the stomach or intestinal canal have any causal relation thereto. It is marked by periodical attacks, coming on during youth and early manhood, increasing in severity and frequency in age, and especially after the change of life, tending to diminish or entirely disappear. An attack may come on without any obvious cause, or after a delay, or after any of the causes which have been mentioned in speaking of neuralgia in general. It is usually ushered in by general uneasiness and malaise, dizziness, disturbed vision, and chilliness. The pain speedily becomes intense, sharp and lancinating, occupying one half of the front and side of the skull. There are two points where pain is usually most severe, and to which it may indeed be confined -- over the eye and on one side of the head, in the neighbourhood of the parietal eminence. The pain usually increases to such an extent that the patient is compelled to take to bed, suffering from extreme nervous depression. Finally when it has reached its height, nause and vomiting ensue, followed by sleep, from which the patient awakes, without the pain, but complaining of some superficial tenderness and considerable malaise.
