Headaches

I can't exactly remember when they started. The middle of the "Barren Years". But by 1997, I was getting one or two headaches a week. They would last between two and three days. They were not migraines just a dull constant throb. A few panadols would take most of the pain away but I still had to avoid activity. It came to the point where I almost had constant headaches. By mid 1998, the "brain specialist" had come up with a medication routine that stopped the headaches but alas no explanation why.

I still take my daily pill. I call it my "crazy" pill to the kids. If I don't take it I go crazy. I don't really like having to rely on those pills but every time I try to wean off them, the headaches come back.
