Never heard of it - I've got somewhat use to headaches, I can tell the same ache and pain is still there, but I just take less notice of it. I do have some cripplings ones, though. Like the ones you have during a really bad hangover - when you just can't move your head without your brain exploding. I don't know how bad some people's have been, but I've had some ones so bad that the headaches would qualify up there with literally the worst pains of my life - the fact it's 'inside' your head is really so much worse than a physical pain, which with enough rubbing just goes away and it's easier to handle.
The only settling thing I find for my headaches is fresh air, just sitting down doing nothing for quite a while, which as you may guess isn't the most practical thing. Darkness/sleep doesn't cure it - I've never gone to bed with headache and woke up without one. I've even had dreams I've had headache - like where you've got a dead arm due to sleeping funny and you actually dream that your arm is hurting but whenever you rub it, it doesn't help!

It's actually a drug intended for chronic migraines. The term "migraine" no longer means just headaches caused by food allergies, but thos that generally aren't localized and may come with nausea, vertigo, and/or photosensitivity.

My sister-in-law had been getting 2 - 3 migraines a week, and Imitrex fixed her right up.

I wouldn't mind trick or treating if it was still acceptible at my age. I just went to my fraternity house and dispensed a few cases of mixed micro brews among the guys. And of course, dressed up for the obligitory halloween party (I was a gay pirate).

Next year I'm gonna be Stephen Hawking, I think.

When I was in college, we used to go door-to-door with a shot glass and say, "trick-or-liquor."
