So this weekend I tried limiting all caffeine intake again. Partially successful. For the first day, I did not drink any coffee, it was awesome. I had some milo though, which probably contained minute amounts of caffeine. By the end of the day, I had the signature splitting headache. I was’nt sure whether or not to classify this as a headache or a migraine, since the pain was bordering on unbearable. No wait, it was actually unbearable, so I raided the medicine cabinet and found me some paracetamol+ophenadrine tabs. Wee. I seriously tried to ride the pain out for at least a few hours, until at one point it was simply unbearable. But I actually think the pain might be a good thing. Why? When your body is aching and shit and your brain is throbbing and all, the natural response is to provide pain relief to it. How? By massaging and shit, resting, stretching, yoga postures, drinking more water, etc. The pain is a natural feedback mechanism to healing. Well anyway I am glad that I managed to stave off caffeine over the weekend. On monday morning when I wokeup, I noticed that my skin was infact somewhat clearer and more radiant. Could’nt resist a cup this morning though. The battle rages on…
