I did discover this morning that caffeine is good for headaches

So live it.
quote:Actually if you look at alot of headache medicines Mike, caffeine is listed as an ingredient, especially in those made for migraines. I used to get migraines frequently and coffee always helped some. You might know more about this than I but something about how it opens the blood vessels and speeds up the heart rate so blood flows faster thus slowing down the swelling that causes headaches, at least that is the theory I read.

Aspirin works on the same principle but instead of opening blood vessels, it thins the blood.
