Caffiene/coffee as a treatment for migraines is not exactly unknown. Hell, that's what Excedrin Migraine is. Whether it'll help ita at all is another question (for some people it's a trigger) but it's hardly out there.
That said, it does seem like an early "try this first" attempt, rather than a likely option for someone who has been so through so many attempts at treatment already.
I think that might be the source of my headache and nausea.
Sophia, I had a friend who had to cut back on coffee because she drank it all day, and it was really messing with her stomach. I forget what her doctor said, though, in terms of why. But that could be your problem.
Coffee is acidic and totally messes with my stomach. I've had to cut back to one or two a week. I am writing this still partially asleep.
ETA: Tea is also acidic and black tea does a number on my tum too.
OK, here's a story with a little schadenfreude....
ESTERO, Fla. — A woman is under arrest after getting in a fight in a taxicab at Stoneybrook Country Club early Sunday morning.
The sheriff's office report says deputies arrived on the scene to find Jessica Nicole Hincapie and Anna Lemoine fighting.
According to the report, Hincapie was asked repeatedly to stop but refused.
When deputies placed Hincapie under arrest, she allegedly said, "You are in trouble because I am a New Yorker and my brother is CSI" and "My dad paid cash for my Toyota Corolla and I am too rich to go to jail."
Even as she was being taken to jail, deputies say she continued to tell the deputy he was going to be in serious trouble for arresting her.
Hincapie is charged with disorderly conduct.
Those rich people - always paying cash for their Toyota Corollas....
Coffee gave me migraines, before I cut out. I don't think it was the caffeine though, as I drink plenty of tea and it doesn't seem to have the same effect.
Coffee is acidic and totally messes with my stomach.
Me too. I've had one cup of coffee since March.
Back when I was heavily doped up I chugged espresso like there was no tomorrow, any time of the day. Just in case it helped. But in those days, nothing could stop me from sleeping, such was the intensity of my drug regimen. I never noticed a distinct difference.
Since one of the best things I can try and do for my migraines is sleep, I don't like to do anything that gets in the way of that.
Gah. I have the strongest tasting toothpaste in the world, and I can still taste coffee. Coffee I like, but distracting nonetheless.
My student paper had a funny intoxicated arrest story this am: [link]
A University student now faces a slew of charges after biting, running from and singing with police.
Jasmyn Felice Jones, 21, was arrested and charged with battery, possession of marijuana, DUI, obstruction, hit and run, failure to obey traffic signs, driving on a suspended license and reckless driving at the intersection of River Road and East Village Surface Road on Oct. 14 at 10:06 p.m.
Jones’ bizarre interaction with police began when officers responded to a car accident near the Ramsey Center, according to a University Police report.
Upon arrival, the arresting officer saw Jones waving her arms in the air while she screamed, “I was the driver, I was the driver,” according to the report. ...
While she was being restrained, the report states Jones bit an officer on the wrist, leaving red marks.
After being placed into the back of a different patrol car, Jones became “agitated by the fluorescent yellow traffic vests with police on them and stated that officers wearing the vests were not the police,” according to the report.
In an attempt to calm her down, officers then began singing the hymn “Our God Is an Awesome God” with Jones.
Why haven't the Germans developed a single word to cover that particular kink?
