Or is it just the Drugs?

swestrupI just noticed I'm feeling very good right now. I'm still kinda bumbed about missing the RPG session tonight (the shopping can be done tomorrow, but I hate letting friends down), but otherwise feeling really good. Partly thats because I'm very well rested right now, which helps a lot. Partly its because the Migraine is gone. I don't know if it will be back or not, or if the lingering feelings of goodness are due to the AC&C I took to combat the migraine.
In the NaNo novel that I'm not writing right now (haven't written a word in 2 weeks, due to having other demands on my time) I have an alien 'drug' that grants perfect health to whoever takes it. I've been describing the effects of no longer having any minor aches, pains or whatnot as being mildly euphoric. The assumption is that everyone has minor health problems that they've long since learned to filter out of their perceptions, and its not until they're all cured at once that they realize just how much of a burden its been.
Of course, I have no proof that this is the case, but I strongly suspect that most folks have a small litany of bodily complaints they've learned to ignore, on top of the larger ones that they're actually aware of on a daily basis. What say you? Does this make sense or is it hokey?
