IS THIS PLACEBO?
23 June 2007

I have had an headache for quite a while now. It's a weird, nagging pain on the left side close to my eye, which strangely usually starts when I eat or have a tea. Despite being an hypochondric, I have not yet diagnosed the condition but might pay a visit to the doctor if it doesn't disappear soon.

The weirdest aspect with this pain is the way it responds to Paracetamol: It doesn't even take 30 seconds after I have swallowed my half paracetamol until the pain vanishes. How can this be? Is this placebo?
