This caffeine issue is bothersome

[feuervogel]

So, my neurologist told me back in November that there's a possibility some of my migraine symptoms are related to caffeine. (That would be the facial/sinus pressure.) I tried two months with no caffeine or once a week, and I can't say I noticed any difference in symptoms. So I decided to go back to whenever I felt like it, though not every day. I averaged every 2 days or so.

But now I'm noticing the sinus pressure again, so maybe there's something to it. Or it could be caffeine withdrawal. My goal is not to have any again until Saturday to test the hypothesis. Though maybe I could have a cup of tea now (2.5 days) and not again until Saturday (4.5 days). This is getting annoying.

I'm also not sure if the tinnitus is linked. It was louder and more annoying over the weekend.

Less or no caffeine makes for a healthier life style at least. I haven't been able to have any for years, but i do remember what it was like when I drank stuff with caffeine often. I find that I have a lot more natural energy then I used to.

It can be hard to give it up at first, but I think if you stick with it, you'll be happy with your choice in the long run.
