Brain Freeze challenge

In an attempt to explain what a CSF Leak, Intracranial Hypo/Hypertension, headache feels like to a healthy person someone came up with the “Blindfolded Brainfreeze Challenge to support IH (Intracranial Hypertension)”, #BBF, which is meant to induce an Ice Cream Headache (ICD-10 G44.8021 “Other specified headache syndromes”).

Eating/drinking something that is extremely cold can cause an, usually, short lived intense headache, when the substance touches the roof of the mouth. The pain can be so intense that it has caused a few people to faint. So don't take the Brain Freeze Challenge lightly, it could injure someone.

Have you ever had one of these Ice Cream headaches? Now imagine that headache ten (10) times worse or more, and does not stop ever. A lucky few can get relief by laying down, so that the CSF builds back up, slowly, over time. Alas the CSF leaks back out when you get up.
