those headaches seem different though.
the real indicator is in TC were he says the migraines that started the last few months.

As Maeve put it to Harry on the bridge, the power within him is Mab herself, which is why she is weak to him. He wasn't just saying "Screw Winter" he was saying "Screw Mab" because they are one in the same. By denying the rules that he was bound to through oath and fealty, (whether he understood this or not), his power through her would be denied him, and I don't see any reason he couldn't be reminded of this via a temporary paralysis reminder. Besides, as I said before, we have direct evidence that Winter Fae can, and have healed physical injuries on a mortal before, specifically Harry. So it stands to reason that a Fae with even more power than the one who healed him in the past, could heal him as part of a bargain. Harry in fact goes into great detail about how hard it is to heal someone via magic, and that it meant that Leah had a direct line of influence/power over him to be able to pull it off. By swearing fealty to Mab as her Knight, and boinking her on the table...well....that's about as "direct line of influence" as you can get

It just occurred to me that if Mab is actually healing him in full, not just masking the injury (which seems like it wouldn't work with a severed spine) then all the people who think that in time Harry will heal his back and will not need the WK mantle are wrong. Mab healed his spine and then broke it anew when Harry forswore his oath to Winter. So even if Harry is the WK for 200 years and would have been able to heal his own back during that time, there is nothing to heal because Mab fixed it. And she can un-fix it if he breaks his oath to her.

I would say Mother Winter is Winter, Mab simply has a mainline to the winter wellspring, Harry also has a line to the winter wellspring but it is different to Mab's.

Good point.

Yeah, the main thing I got from the big list o' head problems is that I no longer believe the logic is tight on the theory that "Lash is causing the headaches because they occur at the time she would be regenerating." I think the only true pattern that can be tied to an individual is the headaches caused by Mab's geas.
