Subject: RE: BS: Migraine sufferers, advice please?
Discontinuing the practice of drinking coffee helped me a lot. At first (after quitting coffee) you may get headaches as withdrawal symptoms, but that phase doesn't last long, and then you get far fewer of them. Chocolate seems to trigger them in me sometimes, so I mostly avoid it.

I don't know, however, if those are triggers for you or not.

Here's a thought. Try drinking more water. Many people get headaches simply because they are dehydrated, and the water helps your body clear itself of toxic substances. If people drank a lot more water and a lot less tea, coffee, soft drinks, sweet drinks, and alcohol, they would be a whole lot better off. Take a lesson from nature, where every creature drinks water and enjoys it to the utmost.

Which reminds me...I forgot to drink some water...again! It's easy to do when your mind is busy with other things.
