Flist, flist, flist, guess what, flist, guess what?! I had my first migraine headache. It wasn't severe or anything, it was, at best, a "normal" migraine but, how do chronic sufferers handle that? Oh dear GOD, that is some NASTY shit. It is NASTY and I say this as someone who gets regular back pain, merci beaucoup, Uterus

Nice kryptonite theory! It would explain why it's so easy to hide, too - lead simply blocks the radiation, rather than blocking Super-vision.

Migraines suck! I hardly ever get them anymore (thanks to the contraceptive pill) but when I was 11 I had them chronically and missed several months of school. It was foul, and I wish your mother had been there to dab my temples. Or maybe not, since scented things are one of my triggers. A curse on all migraines!

I freaking love how you had a migraine and came up with all of this.

So would this theory support that Kryptonians have an extremely fast cellular regeneration rate? Because if the cells are dying or killed dead by the radiation in an extremely painful way, and Clark is usually pretty much ok as soon as the kryptonite is removed, he would have to get rid of those dying/dead cells pretty quickly then, no?

The super-regeneration theory would make sense in that enough force to knock Superman off his feet is not enough force to hurt him, or even wind him, whereas it certainly would be for a regular person. He suffers damage but heals it so fast that he never even notices!

I love your kryptonite theory - especially the difference in effect between a species designed to maximise expose to solar radiation, and humans who aren't. Maybe Kryptonians have something like mitochondria for handling energy exchange, that are singularly interrupted by kryptonite radiation?

Migraines are made of suck. I get maybe one a year, and that's one too many for me. I hope you never have another one.

I'm pretty much used to getting migraines because I usually end up being dehydrated since don't drink much when I'm outside of the house (I hate going to public toilets), Paracetamol or mefenamic acid is enough to manage the pain, though.

Ha, White Flower Oil! I never really liked its smell, so my grandma used Efficascent Oil instead. :D

Migraine is the cause of all the Evil in the world. Yes, yes, it is.

Have I said recently that I loved your brain? If not, then there, I love your brain. And your theory is now my canon, because it's perfect and it makes sense and why can't the people who write comics take the time to make things coherent and semi-realistic (more than: green krytonite bad, hurt Kryptonians)?
