Migraine Management

[bertine]

I am cutting back on caffiene. It is hard because I am not sure how I stay awake without it. Last night I went to bed at 11 and dragged myself out of bed at 8. However, if I can wean myself off of it I am hoping that some of the migraines I get on the weekend when I don't drink caffiene won't happen.


Also, I just got my weekly lecture from a coworker on the dangers of diet soda pop. Sigh.

It's actually pretty rare, so I don't feel like I need any special treatment/procedure for them. They're also a lot LESS bad than yours seem to be, I honestly feel a bit silly talking about my 'migraines' since compared to yours, well, it's like comparing yourself to a person who trains Bengal tigers because you just got a kitten.

I still think you should talk to your doctor about them, even if you only get them a couple times a year it is pretty to stop them than tough them them out.

Also, I am pretty sure the person that trains Bengal tigers could teach you a few things about a kitten and I bet they like kittens too.

I did actually talk to my doc about it once. He said there's really no way to prevent them from happening in the first place, or rather REALLY hard to find the reason, and since it's not really a big huge deal for me we may as well just ignore it. (:

There are ways to prevent them but if you don't get them often than they aren't worth trying. I am just surprised that he didn't talk to you about an abortive.

Anyways, I am trying to figure out what the causes of mine are since I am so tired of having them. I don't think it is the caffeine but why not try it?

One thing I like about that doctor is he does NOT like prescribing drugs. (:

Living caffeine-free is cool. If nothing else, because then when you DO need it it really works a lot better (;
