Best of luck to you. You might want to try an OTC pain med taken with a full glass of water and backed with a cup of coffee. The caffiene seems to "jump start" the meds for me (or I just use Execdrine Migraine which has caffiene in it).

Thanks, Christie

So I found out that the headaches were TOTALLY sugar withdrawl. I ate two Kiwi shortly after posting last night and the headache went away.

Mind you, it came back at 4am.

I'm surprised that I'm having so much difficulty with this, to be honest. I have never been much of a starch eater to begin with (I don't eat pasta because it gives me a stomache ache, I hate potato, I don't keep bread in the house, and I only ate rice once a week). I guess between the energy drinks, and the fruit (I always ate a LOT of fruit) there was a lot of sugar going into my body.

Mmmm, fruit.
