In some people it lays dormant all their lives. Some don't get ob's for decades. So many people have it without knowing it, and sometimes (I've read a few cases here) the h will show up ten years into a marriage, and the symptomless partner will think the other has cheated. A while ago I read a post by a guy who had been celibate for 8-10 years, had never had any type of h, and suddenly he had a genital primary ob.

So if statistics are based not only on the average but on what people know (and report), then they aren't very accurate for the nonaverage person or, in general, when the people polled aren't aware of all the facts.

I often get headaches a day or two before ob's, but I get headaches when I'm overtired (and being overtired brings on ob's.) I get those tension-in-the-neck kind of headaches.

Hope some of this helps.
