More water is good advice. Drinking no more than one cup of caffeinated beverage a day plus lots of water eliminated the pain from my migraines. I still get the auras, however. And last week, for the first time, I suffered a 30 minute aura that made me almost blind in one eye and dyslexic -- everything I read seemed as though it had been run through babelfish a few times. But I felt very little pain. So for some migraine sufferers, it's excellent advice that amounts, almost, to a cure.

But that's the thing about headaches. There's no one cause or one solution. You can get them from muscular tension, infection, tumor, pressure in the spinal fluid, trauma, irritation of the trigeminal nerve, high blood pressure, and, among other things, eating ice cream.

I used to suffer from cluster headaches. Fortunately, back then, doctors weren't as paranoid about prescribing addictive pain medication. Phenobarbital is a wonderful drug for that kind of thing. The triggers/risk factors for cluster headaches include drinking alcohol and smoking. I didn't quit either back then. Yet, when I left the extremely stressful job I had, the headaches vanished. So you never know.

Hope you figure out how to cope with your headaches, Johnny. With enough experimentation, you might just stumble on a trigger that you can work on eliminating. I wish you luck.
