The last several times I've ABed for extended periods (over three days) I've experienced headaches. Often in the past I've ended up MBing kind of as a painkiller which seemed to work. Now I'm wondering if these headaches are withdrawal symptoms such as what a drug or tobacco addict regularly experience when they try to quit. If that's the case MB in those situations is a terrible mistake. I'm planning to fight through it and will post the results (WD? ) but in the meantime wondering if anyone can offer a scientific or theoretical reason to backup my theory?
Also, have other ABers experienced headaches and if so, how far into AB? How long did they last? Has your brain suggested MB as an antidote? Did you give in? Thanks for your responses!
