I know exactly what you are talking about. It feels like somebody is grabbing at the sides of your brain with needle-nose pliers while they pull and twist at the same time. I get it sometimes and it wakes me up out of a deep sleep just to clutch my head and ease the pain. I'm sorry I don't know what it is. I'm afraid of doctors. But I do get migraines that manifest as vision loss instead of classic pain. I think I get it when I am dehydrated. Or perhaps dehydrated and drinking alcohol. Sorry I am not more helpful - but know that you are not alone. Please post if you find out anything conclusive.
I get brain aches... not head aches. brain aches.
