Yeah, mostly it affects children under 10, but trust me to get it at almost 20

According to wikipedia, it usually lasts 12-18 days. My doctor had no idea how long it would last. He just gave me painkillers and sent me packing.

Now the terrible headaches have gone, Im stuck with a baboon face - its really embarrasing
