After three days of migraine and feeling worse and worse each day, I broke the cycle with coffee. To make the miracle even sweeter and more memorable, I got to indulge in two delicious cafe lattes at a bistro in Paris. I had heard that some people use caffeine as a migraine treatment, but I'd never tried it since coffee is a trigger for me. This time I was desperate enough because I was travelling, and rest days and drugs had not had any effect. Below are some articles that talk about caffeine as a migraine treatment. I don't know that I'll drink coffee whenever I feel a migraine coming on, but I'll save it as a another option.
