Hey you all,
Everynow and then I cannot sleep and have really bad headaches. The doctors tell me different stories and I thought I might ask your opinion.
About 30 years ago, I was told to stay away from caffine (for obvious reasons) and i have been. But in the last few years Ive been told that caffine is good for headaches.
Is this true? And does anyone have any good remedies?
thanx in advance.

Armybear, I get migraines on occasion. Haven't had one in a long time now, but one time it was so bad I had to go to the e.r.. They put some stuff in the i.v. that equalled out to be like 20 cups of coffee all at once. It gave me the jitters, but they headache finally went away. I've been told that having hot coffee (not decafe) when you have a headache is good for getting rid of them. The heat and the caffine opens up the blood vessels to allow the blood flow. Which when you get migraines the blood vessels tend to narrow and restrict the flow of blood, which in turn causes the pain.
Me I was told that caffine was bad for the heart.
They say some foods can cause allergies that produce migraines, like too much chocolate, eggs, cow's milk, certain cheese, certain fruits, red wine, and caffinated beverages, but then certain additives like MSG and aspartame can do that too.
Have you tried the mirgraine tablets that are sold over the counter at the stores like Walmart? I've heard they work pretty good. Try a hot rag or a heating pad on the back of your neck and shoulders in a dark room. Witchie probably can give you some hints on what you can do for this too.

Have you had an alignment from a chiropractor? That can help with headaches....it has helped with mine.
Caffeine is ok in moderation and does help with headaches IF you are addicted to it and haven't drank any lately, but I'm not so sure about headaches if you haven't been addicted to caffeine.
There are some herbal remedies that can help with headaches and sleeplessness too..
