Headaches?

I get migraines quite often too, but I noticed that they are a lot more frequent when I'm not drinking enough water. :flowerforyou:

Feel better!

Oh and most over-the-counter's don't work for me either, but I seem to get the best results with Excedrin Migraine.

I'm going through the same thing. I'm so sensitive to getting headaches! bright lights, stress, loud noises! I'm on day two of my new diet. I drink 8 bottles of water a day and have been forever, so I know lack of hydration is causing this constant migraine. I'm guessing either my body is craving sugar or caffiene. I drank a coke zero at lunch to see if it would ease up and it didn't. I'm hypoglecemic so it's probably my sugar. I'm just going to deal with it and hope that all this eating healthy will fix things!

Im glad Im not the only headache prone one here! I have definitely noticed that when I keep up on glasses of water I get less headaches...I still get headaches, but they dont always turn to migraines (yes I get em that badly)
Exedrin Migraine does tend to help me tho, even tho nothing else ever does.
I think it may partly be the caffeine in it.

I get headaches easily. There are a few things I do to get rid of them. 1) drink water, 2) drink espresso, 3) do Yoga, 4) do cardio exercise, 5) get my husband to give me a head and neck and temple massage. And if those things still don't work, then I go for the drugs.

maybe you aren't getting enough sodium, i just posted an article on here about the idea that you do need it, some people stay away from it but our bodies need it to function

I am headache prone. Since my son was born 11 years ago I have gone from about 1 migraine a month to where they are basically everyday. Some are worse than others tho. I have noticed lack of sleep, too much or too little caffeine, too little water, tension, artificial sweeteners, or my super biggie the weather fronts coming through give me the really bad ones for 3 days after they are gone as well as for however long they are actually there. so you can imagine I have read up alot on the headaches. One thing on the list that it took me a long time to realize was the sweeteners. I found out through my reading that the aspertame ( nutrasweet brand) that is in most diet products like the diet sodas actually have a list of several things that are side effects. The part that struck me was when it listed these as side effects from it: Neurologic
epileptic seizures
headaches, migraines and (some severe)
dizziness, unsteadiness, both
confusion, memory loss, both
severe drowsiness and sleepiness
paresthesia or numbness of the limbs
severe slurring of speech
severe hyperactivity and restless legs
atypical facial pain
severe tremors

there are many others too. So I searched up that newer one made from sugar but no calories. EEEKKK I found out it is made by splitting the sugar molecule with BLEACH and this is ingested in our bodys. After it has been out for as many years as the other we will finally be hearing about all the bad things from it too. I found our safest bet is to find stevia. I mean the real from the healthfood store that has not been prcessed in ways they haven't fessed up to. Or if you need a sweet for coffee or tea kind of stuff the oldest and best for you that is mentioned even in the bible (our instruction manuel) is old fashioned HONEY. Yes it has calories in it so you gotta watch for that but it is natural as can be (or BEE) I myself still need to get totally away from the sodas. I have tried to and I know they are bad for me, but it is a very difficult habit to break.I do drink plenty of water tho, even drinking soda. Some days I drink 5 or 6 bottles that are 20 to 24 oz. But summer Sweating is very bad here so extra water needed.

if you've recently cut out all your sugar and/or caffeine, that could be a cause as well. your body goes into withdrawl and you can get mild headaches. if they last much longer, i would see a doctor though :ohwell:
