The Cure

I've discovered a sure fire way to avoid my massive headaches! Or at the very least I've avoided a massive headache twice with this particular remedy.

When the headache rears it's ugly ... um, head, which is usually in the late after noon or early evening, I slow its course with a steady stream of water and continue this throughout the evening.

When I get home I take 3 Advil and drink (this seems to be the important bit) a 23.5 oz can of Arizona Green Tea. (What a weird size for a can.) When I've had other massive headaches I've varied the number of Advil and stuck with the water, but they always get really nasty as bedtime approaches. The green tea seems to be the key.

My theory is that it contains the perfect amount of caffeine. Not so much that it'll give me the runs, but just enough to make my head feel ok. (Too much information?)

I'm not sure this would work for anyone else. Generally a 23.5 oz green tea is all the caffeine I've had in my system for days and days. So I can be sure of the dosage.

And no, it's not the green tea's fault that I'm up at midnight. It's pub quiz's fault. We, Cheese Quiz, came in 2nd. Unfortunately another team also came in second, and two teams came in first, so in reality we came in 3rd or 4th, depending on your point of view.

Speaking of bedtime ...
