If you know me, you know I get headaches. You may or may not know when I normally get them but… it’s ... here. (wink wink) Day one, and as of yet, no headache. I’m doing my best to stay away from all the bad headache-inducing items such as: alcohol, sugar and cold drinks. I originally and caffeine in that list but I’ve recently learned that one cup a day isn’t bad, in fact it helps a little. Especially if you feel a headache coming on and you pop an Advil with it. The caffeine constricts the blood vessels and helps the Advil get into your system faster. This method helped clear up last months three-day attack… whew.
I’m dying to drink the last beer that’s sitting in the fridge left over from the weekend, but last month I had a gin and tonic around this time and thought that a piddly glass of water before bed would pre-empt the situation. Alas… no.While writhing in pain on the third day of blinding brain pain, I swore no alcohol during this week. If I still get one then I know it’s completely hormonal and that it's not my fault. At that point I’ll have to talk to my doctor and make some “changes”.
