Headache from ANOTHER addiction....

[like_mom]

So all along I was relating my TERRIBLE headache to withdrawal.  Well, that is PARTLY the case.  I realized that during my cutting out norco from my life, I also was a coke zero junkie....I was so sick, that I only wanted water and gatorade, and NOT coke.  I am attributing the withrawal of the large amount of caffeine I was used to consuming to the heachaches I was suffering from and not the norco as today, as soon as I drank one coke zero, headache was GONE!  

~one addiction at a time~ :)

!!!!  I used to be the SAME way with Dr. Pepper.  It's horrible isn't it?!  When I got to the point when I said "omg I need a Dr. Pepper"  I knew it was time to quit soda all together!!  I've been drinking more lately though, so I know that's why I've been getting more and more...time to binge on water now haha

OH YES caffine withdrawal causes MASSIVE headaches, caffine opens up the blood vessels in your head that is why there is caffine in excederine!!! Duh should have asked you that!! LOL well at least you've got one less problem lol!!!!  Hope your doing well, i actually ate today and took a 45 minute nap!!!! I"ve got to post my progress cause i messaged asking how i am you should post your progress to because people can see that it is possible to quit cold turkey. Good job keep going!!!!

Could be the sugar - or I think artificial sweeteners since it's coke zero?  Sugar/artificial sweetener withdrawal can bring on MASSIVE headaches.  :)  p.s. maybe some advil would be good right about now?
