9. How many headaches do you typically get per year?

As a young man, I usually only suffered 2 or 3 per year.

As someone now in his 50s, I'd say it's up to one every month or two.

Not a troubling number, but definitely on the rise compared to decades ago. Never crippling headaches, fortunately, pretty mild.

Enjoy your weekend, Aristus!
