Went to doc about the not-quite-migraine things and the sleeping shit.

So now have been told to lay off the caffeine, red wine and cheese, and try nytol for sleeping.

I don't drink wine, and cheese I can take or leave, but caffeine... oh christ. I tried today without it and was nearly nodding off by 4:30. At this point I can't tell how much of this is just how much i rely on the caffeine to get me through the work.

I...just... :wails, hugs coffee close: I like being an addict! It's fun! It gets me through my job!

I sympathise wholeheartedly, whenever I have coffee I spend hours bouncing around and then crash spectacularly, redbull is worse, I scare people when I drink that :S But I don't get migraines if I ration myself on the coffee.

If you can't get off the caffeine try a 5-HTP supplement, its a precursor to seratonin and could help with the headaches and the sleeping. Seratonin imbalance can cause migraines and sleep disturbance.

Feverfew taken regularly might help too, thats been used for migraines for centuries.

And I am a herbal remedy geek :( I need to leave work at work.
