I started getting these when I was a teenager, as I got older they became more frequent and were actually quite debilitating. I tried getting more sleep, changing my diet, less sugar, more sugar, keeping hydrated. When I got married and complained about it to my wife (not to suggest I felt it was her fault) she just said, ‘oh yeah, don’t drink caffeine’. And I was like, ‘but I love coffee and how dare you try to stop me’, and she said, ‘meh, whatever’.
So I stopped drinking caffeine and lo and behold the migraines stopped, but I still wasn’t convinced and suspected it was just a coincidence. Then one day I had a fresh migraine and I was like, ‘yeah, see it has nothing to do with caffeine’ but it turned out that while working with a business they had run out of de-caf and had been secretly giving me normal coffee and assuming I would be too stupid to know.
I haven’t had a migraine now in five years but I’m not suggesting this is the only answer and my wife based her advice on a family member who had the same problem. Nonetheless, if you are suffering from these horrible things then I hope that you try this out and if it works for you then that would be just flippin’ dandy, because I know how annoying these things can be.
