It happened again. I got another migraine today. I think I may be on to something. I haven't had coffee since 4pm on Friday. I had an iced coffee right before I left work. Yesterday I was OK but a little "off". Today, I stayed in all day. I don't have any coffee in the house. I have taken 3 doses of Advil (3 at a time no less) during the course of the day & I cannot get rid of this headache. This happens every weekend when I stay in one of the days. How weird. Do you think? Could it possibly be caffeine withdrawal?
The most frequent symptom associated with caffeine withdrawal is moderate to severe headache. This can occur between 12 and 24 hours after last intake of caffeine. It usually lasts for one to two days, though some may have a headache for longer.

Sounds like caffeine withdrawal to me. Stock up on the Folgers so this doesn't happen again!

Sue - I know it does right? I must remedy this situation. I can't have it happen again. BTW, the sapphires worked!! I woke up around 3am and the headache was finally gone!!
Ah, the lovely coffee withdrawal... how I despise thee.
Admitting you have a problem is the first step, fueling the problem is the second!
Hope it doesn't last much longer, or you find another source of caffeinated loveliness!
Craig - Thanks for visiting & commenting on my blog.
Yes, I fueled it first thing when I left this morning. I pulled into McDonalds and got myself an iced coffee. It was caffeinated loveliness for sure.
The two Advil PMs also helped last night. It finally helped the headache. Thank God!

Marina - I think it was. I feel much better today than yesterday. Have a nice day too!
Coffee withdrawal can be bad. I have to have my coffee! Or I am totally disoriented. Hope you feel better soon.
