IIH and wondering if anyone else experiences this pain

I am on Diamox 1000/day and have been diagnosed with IIH.  When I get a headache or migraine, one symptom I have is facial pain.  Specifically, the left side of my face around my cheek bone and up to the temple will hurt. There have been times, lately, that my face hurts before an iih headache comes on (like right this very moment I am experiencing it).  Has anyone else experienced this kind of pain?

    YES. The crazy part for me is that I can tell which symptom I will be dealing with based on the time of day and month. This condition is hard to deal with.
