Figured I'd ask here before I started my own, but is there a topic listing all the guns still hanging on the wall already done up without the wags?
Right, then I call apples and oranges. A cumpulsion not to talk to Harry about a topic isn't the same as removing a memory, or least doesn't have to be.
Molly put a compulsion on her friends using fear and drove one of them completely insane, and caused the other a huge amount of psychic problems. Compulsions aren't nice stuff when mortals do it. Fae seem to just do magic better.

and Harry's memories returned when Michael did his lay on hands trick

yall avoiding the point at the end where Mab admits she took his rod, ya know.
We know mortal magic causes all sorts of problems with the person's head. both with the victim and the caster. However, the Fae are able to remove memories and affect anyone within their court or to who they've made a bargain. It's entirely possible that they can do this without causing the same harm to either the victim or themselves. We don't see Fix having headaches because of the compulsion he's under, and we don't see Susan having a constant headache when she's had memories removed.

there's one specific type of headache that occurs first in SmF, however:

the two piercing points of cold, like a pair of icicles shoved into his brain.

occurs in SmF (in relation to Mab and the rod), In TC (when harry is about to get mouse to lead him to Thomas)(also with the missing LC) and again in CD.

its like a giant 'Mab was here' sign.

However, we have excellent proof that the "Parasite" has been causing headaches, and that it's separate from Mab, from both Ghost Story and Cold Days.
So, while I'm not saying some didn't come from Mab's mind warp, I'm doubting all of them did.

Also, there's a lot more than headaches that come from someone messing with your mind, and we have plenty of proof of that from the series starting at Proven Guilty.

Does Vadderung telling Harry that a mortal wizard can't possibly draw enough power to go back in time have any play in the conversation?

according to SmF, the headaches are natural reactions to when someone changes a person's memories. If you recall, harry had his firsts et when mab took his blasting rod.
Actually, as I've been rereading through the series, I've been compiling a headache journal for Harry.
The first time in the series he complains about a headache not related to an injury is in Fool Moon.
However, there's another series of headaches that happen where Harry has a headache, and then does something uncharacteristic. It's most obvious and frequent in Cold Days, but it's also happened in the series for some time, and at least one such occurrence happens in Summer Knight.
