Headaches

I've never really had a problem with getting headaches. I just rarely have them, so when I heard others say "I've got a pounding headache", I can't really identify.

Lately, that's changed.

Twice in the last two weeks I went to work with a pounding headache. Every noise I heard seemed amplified, multiplied. It seemed like someone was pounding my brain with a hammer.

Tonight I've had it again, the third pounder in two weeks. I absolutely hate taking painkillers, but I succumbed all three times.

As much as I like to think I'm tough when it comes to withstanding pain, these headaches seem to show otherwise.
