Doh! Could the fact that I have a headache this afternoon – again, after having headaches since Wednesday – be tied in any way to the fact that I haven’t had any Pepsi today? And I’ve been cutting back on it all week? *smacks head* No wonder the Excedrin – which has caffeine – helped! I can’t believe I didn’t figure that out earlier.

I get wicked headaches when I don’t have any caffiene. I feel for ya. 🙂
What are you doing to yourself? Torture? I mean, I’m not crazy about Pepsi, but I wouldn’t go cold turkey on the stuff! 🙂
I did the same thing a few years ago (cut back on Coca-Cola) and my husband and kids were begging for me to get back on the stuff after 2 weeks!
No no, that can’t be it … it’s much too obvious. 😉
Oh no, I haven’t gone cold turkey, I’ve just been drinking a lot more water. Today I worked out at 10am, and after that I drank water, water, more water, diet lemonade, and more water. Couldn’t figure out why the headache kept getting worse. *doh!*
I doubt the smacking of the head is going to help your headache. Caffeine (or lack there of) headaches are the worse! I once offered a roommate in college $100 to go to the vendng machine and get me a Coke after I gave them up for lent just to stop the pounding in my head. Thankfully, she didn’t make me pay her the $100 but did go get me the Coke.

Congrats on cutting back on the Pepsi though. That is a great start…maybe just have a one a day for awhile.

I get the worst caffeine withdrawal headaches, too. Of course, that’s the only time I get headaches, it seems, so I shouldn’t be too ungrateful.
Caffeine Withdrawal headaches are the worst! Ever!
