no panadol thank you

What I don't understand about some people, is their unwillingness to take painkillers, which were invented for the sole purpose for removing pain.

Have a friend in Singapore, who suffers from migraines, and as a fellow migraine sufferer* I can fully understand the torment. It's just so painful that sometimes knocking your head against the wall seems to provide relief. (Makes you look like a mental patient, but hey whatever that works!)

For me, at the first sign of an impending migraine - the thickening of the saliva, small pulsating pain from inside the head, I grab two panadol extras to kill it, before it turns into a monster.

And when I tell the same gal to take panadol, she would go,"oh no, it's not good to take too much medication, I'll ride it out."

Which you never do, at least not for me with migraines. So rather than save time and having some decent quality of life, as opposed to headbanging and crouching over table like some dead animal for the rest of the day, it is better for her, to endure the pain.

Go figure.

*No more migraine, thanks to another medical invention aka the Pill. The crap women have to put up with each month!
