ohhhhhhh, I’ve had those the past week or two! Not fun… my saviour has been Advil Liquid-gels. Though, I did go see a doc too (which is what he suggested)… get ‘er looked at, doesn’t hurt…

It is true – caffeine cuts both ways with headaches. Too much can give you one by dehydrating you, but if you have one already, a small coffee may help. Some headache tablets have caffeine in them, even – it increases the painkilling effect of paracetamol.

I kind of hesitate to say this on here, but headaches can also be caused by a dip in blood sugar, so a little carby snack can help.

I hope you feel better soon!

I’m with Conrad GoGo on the whale ice cream scoop…. there’s something very wrong about that. LOL! And a beaver whisk? Can you imagine putting that on a “wish list”?

I have a new kitchen gadget – a food scale. You can put food codes in it and know the number of calories, carbs, etc. in the very apple you are about to eat, pretty amazing. I like it. I think it will help with portioning, developing recipes, reality checks, etc. I have put in a spot where I can easily see and access it.

May your headache go away and your pain be eased.

Artificial sweetners!! I’ve actually ended up in the hospital with migraines and when the doc gave me a sample of migraine medicine there was a list of possible triggers on there and artificial sweetners were right at the top of the list.

Splenda is ok….the rest….forget about ‘em!! Personally…I don’t think anything tastes good enough for me to eat or drink and suffer a migraine as the consequence :)

There’s just something a bit unsettling about an ice cream scoop shaped like a whale.

It’s like, “Yummo, I’m gonna have some ice cre—oh my god, Shamu! Must. Resist.”

OMG, thanks for the kitchen gadget link! They are too cute…I want them all, NOW! Of course, I need none of them at all. Sigh, that’s capitalism for you!

Sorry to hear about your bad head. If not the advent of the flu, perhaps it is caused by your new discovery of coffee? I’ve heard that some people are allergic, not to the caffeine, but to some other compound found in coffee, and headache is one of the symptoms. Just a thought.

Hope you are feeling better. Maybe you need glasses? I thought I had a brain tumor and it turned out I was far-sited hehe. This is my first time commenting on your blog but I have really enjoyed reading it, thank you so much for sharing (especially the bit with the Target products today, ADORABLE!)

My miracle cure for migraines is tons of water, a very long hot shower, and SLEEP. Oh, and a massage if I can get it, but those are hard to come by. :-P
