Head Ache

Got this headache, I think it's 'cause I don't drink enough, but I'll soon check that.

Do you take pills for headaches? Personally, I don't like them too much. they treat the symptom rather than the cause. So they make you drowsy in order to drown the head/other ache.

Mostly, modern medicine always do that - treat the symptoms rather than address the cause. Older methodologies, such as the chinese classic medicine, does the opossite - goes to the cause rather than try to address the symptoms.

However, I wouldn't go to naturopathy or look up a chinese doc. (which are kind of hard to find here.. :>) each time I get a headache..

So I basically bear it out.

It also seems now, that it has to do with my own caffeine addiction :) - I stopped drinking regular coffee, but I still occasionally drink coke.

And when you stop feeding yourself caffeine, you get headaches. The way to stop'em dead? right.. get more caffeine :D

 

In accordance with the prophecy!

No... caffeine addiction causes you to HAVE headaches if and when you stop taking caffeine. and caffeine would relieve the headaches when you start taking it again. (it has to do with blood flow in the brain)

I overdosed on caffeine when I was in college. Spent a few weeks living on Diet Coke and Vivarin, and was found unconscious in a hallway one Friday morning. When I awoke, I seriously thought my brain was melting; I was in SO much pain. I would have cried if it didn't make it worse... I was sent to the hospital where they shot me full of decongestants and painkillers, then told to stay off caffeine for at least six months.

To this day, I can't have more than one caffeinated drink a day, or I get migraines. Yikes!!!!
