thanks, yeah, I am feeling a bit better now. DH came home from work with a nice can of diet coke for me. The caffeine helps when I take Advil with them.
Girly Girl...let me share a hint with you.
My migraines got to be about twice a week...I mean down in bed for 8-10 hours, black curtains, no noise (just someone breathing made my head feel like it was going to burst), my clothing hurt my skin and even my hair hurt. KWIM.
So after about 3 months of this, I finally broke down and went to the DR. He gave me different meds off and on to try to get them under control... for over a year-this pill and that to prevent them, another pill to take if I felt one coming on, all kinds of pain pills so when they hit. He had me keep a journal for two months to see if it was an allergy...nothing.
About two months before my trip to WDW, I decided I wanted to lose weight. Up to this point, I drank Diet Dew but decided to drink water (still had coffee each morning-need the caffine to get going) because I REALLY wanted to lose wieght...even Diet can hold on the pounds.
About 5 weeks into it, one day I noticed I hadn't had a migraine for about two weeks. I'm like..WAHOOOO. But I couldn't figure out what made them go away. About 6 weeks into my diet, I was craving Diet Dew so I bought a 1-liter bottle. Pure Heaven that entire day...totally enjoying my Diet Dew. That night...BAM Migraine. A MMMMMMMMMMM moment for sure. I went back off it and played around with it for 3 weeks. Each time I would drink Diet Dew....I end up in bed with a migraine. Once I got back from WDW, I had a follow up with the Dr and I shared with him my findings. Yep...I'm allergic to the articifial sweetner in Diet POP.
A lag of caffine will cause a migraine--caffine withdraw or aspretain (SP) in Diet Pop can cause them too.
So we can be heavy and healthy or we can be skinny and sick--what a choice huh?
