Hello @nightops. I wanted to more quickly connect you with other members who have experience with MS, so you will notice that I have moved your post into our MS welcome discussion, which you can find here:

Would you say that you are taking care of yourself in terms of adequate sleep, reduced stress and caffeine levels? Stress seems to be one of the main reasons some of the members on Connect report for having ice pick headaches so thinking if there is a way for you to dramatically reduce that through self-care and good sleep, it may be worth trying for a week to see if you can gain improvements. Maybe even journal your sleep hours and stress level each day and then your pain scale to see if/how it improves?
