1. It makes me feel better.
And not think so much about the pain.

2. I don't need to do much to make me swear.
Waking up usually suffices. :)

4. I knew that already.
Actually saying OW or whatever always helps me feel better. In extreme headache situations, even moaning has helped me literally feel better.
