I fucked myself up quite badly taking codeine to control migraine pain as a teenager. (I got the 'that's interesting you don't seem to have a brain tumor' conversation too!) Just... look out for alternative (by which I mean 'other' not 'hippy') methods of pain control, if this looks like being a long time issue. My doctors were shit about this, they just kept re-prescribing when I asked.
I also get very slurry-speached when I get migraine - although part of other people's lack of comprehension is my tendency to describe things that aren't there....
