Headache
Originally uploaded by fabbriciuse

This will probably make most readers of this blog envious, but I am curious to find out whether I’m unique in this respect.

I seem to be unable to get a headache.

Even when I have a hangover, I only have the other symptoms without any headache at all.

I had some kind of mild headache a couple of years ago, but that what as part of some viral infection that caused pain in most of the body, too, so I’m not sure that counts.

A google search for unable headache seems to return only pages about people who can’t get rid of their headaches rather than being unable to get them in the first instance.

So am I a mutant, or is this actually pretty normal?

    Well I get them all the way from mild to migrane when I’m tired, when I’m stressed, when I’m pregnant, when I’m premenstrual, when lights are too bright, with hangovers, when the kids fight, when boyfriends accidentally shut people carrier hatchbacks on my head, you name it… Jealous? Me? Never. I wonder whose genes Anna will get?

    I too am quite lucky that way ,, very rarely suffer headaches ,, hungover I usually feel quite ill but nothing much on the sore head front ..maybe it’s a boy thing Thomas ??

    Hmmm, perhaps you’re right, but I know some blokes who get headaches frequently, so it’s definitely not as clear-cut as that…

    lieber Thomas
    es ist ein genetisches Erbe von Brita: auch sie hatte noch nie ernsthafte Kofschmerzen (während ich in meiner Jugend – aber nicht später – sehr geplagt war). Brita erzählt, dass ihr Augenarzt sich wunderte, dass ihre Sehschwäche ohne die obligatorischen begleitenden Kpfweh-Symptome waren.
