I too am one of the apparently lucky few who just does not get headaches. And no, my life is not stress-free in the slightest, I work 70+ hours a week at a high stress job and have relationship things going on. I also often do not drink enough water, seldom--if ever--am fully rested and drink red wine. I also feel pain elsewhere in a totally normal way (cramps especially). It never really dawned on me how odd this is until I was talking with a group off co-worker's and the conversation led to one commenting about a client causing headaches which lead to everyone else discussing theirs. Eventually it lead to me and all I could comment was "I think I had one once...it felt like someone was pushing on my forehead for a moment but I'm not sure." This was met with incredulous silence and then one thinking I was joking. It took a little but they finally realized I was telling the truth. My head has hurt if I get a really high fever and I have felt sinus pressure from a sinus infection but I can drink a bottle of cheap red wine and nary an issue with my head--though my stomach might feel different. I have zero light-sensitivity issues and while a client may make my blood pressure rise, I never feel it in my noggin.
Is it normal that I've never had a headache?
