I do have a theory about the headaches. I have this theory because it happened to myself. Last summer I burned my leg pretty bad, and since it was such a long healing process I had a very steady supply of pain pills. I was able to easily get them for months during my injury and I eventually became dependant on them. So when my leg healed and the prescriptions just stopped, I used to get intense headaches by the end of the day because I was so used to having them in my system and now I didnt and worse I knew I wasnt going to be able to get anymore. This lead to chronic pain, migraines, fatigue.....just a real shi$$y feeling. Now Steve cant just say his foot is hurting to get more because they wouldnt let him play, so he has to go without. The addiction has obviously affected his play, his attitude, his whole physical person. Much as it did me. He will slowly get over it as I am doing but it takes time. Im sure he has gotten some that he is hiding and that is how he was able to play in those games when you could tell he was "off".......this is just my opinion, but why else would the "migraine bug" just so happened to arrive right after Stevie had a 4 week rest???
Im not saying Im right just something Ive thought about.....Im sure they were there in preseason and maybe in kindergarden, but I couldnt see it in his face or his play until he returned from that injury. They couldnt have just been there before that and no one said anything about it. You dont just sort of have a migraine, and even if u could how do u go from that to frequently missing games.....not just not dressing and not playing very much...COMPLETELY MISSING GAMES. It doesnt matter I was only offering my 2 cents anyway
