Ok - heres a question for you and I cant imagine what the answer may be as I can honestly say I have possibly never experienced it. What does one feel like if one does not have to take pain killing drugs all the time.
I have had these headaches since I had meningitis when I was 18 (17 years ago) and since then I have had to take 8 plus strong tablets a day to get through it. I have no recollection of what a day feels like pain free and have no idea what people do feel who dont have it. My body has so become used to needing painkillers, that its got - I believe - addicted to them. That makes me an addict does it not? Recovering albeit now I think? Hence why the pure hell of these last few days (was up until gone three this morning as had no idea what to do with myself. Went for a walk at 2.15am for half an hour) and tried to imagine how the body / mind must feel. Its very quiet at that time of the morning. Do you feel great most days, as I have no idea.
Would be interested to know what the definition of normal is to you....As I have absolutely no idea.
