Anyone Else Addicted to Caffeine?

I've discovered something over the last week. I have a caffeine addiction that I didn't have before.
I have been using Excedrin more often and drinking Coke more. What I discovered that as long as I had some form of caffeine, I could keep that aching nagging feeling in the back of my neck away. It's that feeling that if I don't do something about it soon, I know where this is headed. I used to take three Aleve or four Ibprofen. The Aleve would work and if I was closer to a migraine, I'd throw Benadryl in, but if I was too far into it, I'd need my Imitrex.
Well, as long as I can drink a 20 oz Coke or take one Excedrin, I don't need the Aleve. To be honest, the Ibprofen never did anything anyway.
I'm not sure if I should keep up the caffeine or not. I know in some people it can cause headaches too. Maybe soon my system will get used to it and it'll start causing them. But for many, a cup of coffee a day is just fine for them. I think I might try a half of an Excedrin and see what that does. I do get a tad jittery, but not enough to interfere with what I'm doing.

Not Migraine Free, but Who's Perfect Anyway

I can't believe it has been since March that I have written anything. A lot has changed in my life. My husband got a new job, so we moved across the country back to my native state of MI. Colorado was beautiful, but I sure am happy to be back to humidity and low altitude.
The stress of the move and my mother being ill has caused several headaches over the last month, but they are starting to die down a bit. I haven't had to take a triptan in two weeks. That is wonderful. I have felt some start to come on and I've been able to control them early enough with Excedrin migraine or Benadryl, depending on the time of day.
We now live in Port Huron, MI, which is a major port city with Canada. We are less than two miles from Lake Huron and the St. Clair river. I love it! Water has always been my favorite, much more than mountains. We are still settling in, so I haven't found a new doctor yet. As a matter of fact, we still don't have our new prescription cards, so I've had to pay per pill. At least we can get reimbursed for it.
My husband's new job makes him a Senior Pastor. This is a much better setting for all of us. He loves his new work and the people there, me too. We miss our friends in CO but are very thankful for the change. Our house is amazing. It has five bedrooms and a gorgeous back yard. Each kid finally has their own room and I even have a studio. I hope to get creative real soon.
I will keep you posted as time goes on to see how the headaches pan out in this new environment. It should be easier on the body and less stress. I'm sure I'll still get one now and then but two weeks without a triptan is awesome!
