4419951 Perhaps I may inquire as to why my writing has produced such a negative repsonse?

4419427 Maybe one day! Goodness knows this took for blooming ever to write, but I think I broke my writers block in the process, so we'll see!

A primary headache is caused by problems with or overactivity of pain-sensitive structures in your head. A primary headache isn't a symptom of an underlying disease. Chemical activity in your brain, the nerves or blood vessels of your head outside your skull, or muscles of your head and neck — or some combination of these factors — may play a role in primary headaches. Some people may carry genes that make them more likely to develop such headaches.
The most common primary headaches are:
Cluster headache
Migraine (with and without aura)
Tension headache (medically known as tension-type headache)
Trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia (TAC), including cluster headache and paroxysmal hemicrania
There are other headache patterns that are generally considered types of primary headache but are less common. These headaches have distinct features, such as an unusual duration or pain associated with a certain activity. Although these headaches are generally considered primary, each of them could be a symptom of an underlying disease. These headaches include:
Chronic daily headaches
Cough headaches
Exercise headaches
Sex headaches
Some primary headaches can be triggered by lifestyle factors, including:
Alcohol, particularly red wine
Certain foods, such as processed meats that contain nitrates
Changes in sleep or lack of sleep
Poor posture
Skipped meals
Stress
Secondary headaches
A secondary headache is a symptom of a disease that can activate the pain-sensitive nerves of the head. Any number of conditions — varying greatly in severity — may cause secondary headaches. Sources of secondary headaches include:
Acute sinusitis
Arterial tears (carotid or vertebral dissections)
Blood clot (venous thrombosis) within the brain — separate from stroke
Brain aneurysm (a bulge in an artery in your brain)
Brain AVM (arteriovenous malformation) (an abnormal formation of brain blood vessels)
Brain tumor
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Chiari malformation (structural problem at the base of your skull)
Concussion
Dehydration
Dental problems
Ear infection (middle ear)
Encephalitis (brain inflammation)
Giant cell arteritis (inflammation of the lining of the arteries)
Glaucoma
Hangovers
Influenza (flu)
Intracranial hematoma (blood vessel ruptures in the brain)
Medications to treat other disorders
Meningitis (inflammation of the membranes and fluid surrounding your brain and spinal cord)
Monosodium glutamate (MSG)
Overuse of pain medication
Panic attacks
Post-concussion syndrome
Pressure from tight-fitting headgear, such as a helmet or goggles
Pseudotumor cerebri (increased pressure inside the skull)
Stroke
Toxoplasmosis
Trigeminal neuralgia (disruption of the nerve connecting the face and brain)
Specific types of secondary headaches include:
External compression headaches (a result of pressure-causing headgear)
Ice cream headaches (commonly called brain freeze)
Rebound headaches (caused by overuse of pain medication)
Sinus headaches (caused by inflammation and congestion in sinus cavities)
Spinal headaches (caused by low levels of cerebrospinal fluid, possibly the result of trauma, spinal tap or spinal anesthesia)
Thunderclap headaches (a group of disorders that involves sudden, severe headaches)

Clever? I guess? Oh well, that actually made me chuckle, so whatever.

By the way, digging the Mayo Clinic copypasta, your Brilliance!

4420789 Nightheart! Long time no see! Yep, school kinda gets in the way of writing, and my musical hobby usually takes priority over my writing hobby, so there's that, but I'm back! It's great to see you, and as always, thanks for the favorite!

4421424 If you read Diamonds are a Mare's Best Friend, another little tale by myself, *shameless plug* you'd know that what they did had something vaguely to do with a squid, whatever that means!

4421674 Thanks! Great to see you, Twitch!
