Well, and I wonder how many people on this thread know what that means.

As an immigrant from the south, I've never quite gotten the Timmies bug. Still stuck on my Peet's. But that's at least in part because I'm so far out in the boonies that the nearest Tims is an hour's drive away!

Peet's Major Dickason's for me this morning.

I corrected/added to it. I apologize and blame my migraine...I do not usually get such a large coffee but hoped it would help. It did a bit but the headache is still there.

You really didn't need to edit it, folks can sort of figure out from the context, and it's not like it actually matters.

Sorry about the migraine. My wife got them for many years, and I well know what you're going through. She was, ultimately, able to control them with some of the newer drug options. But it took patience, research, experimentation, and a good working relationship with her primary care physician. She tried, variously: cafergot, sumatriptan (Imitrex), rizatriptan (Maxalt), and D.H.E. 45. All helped to one degree or another. The Imitrex was magic at first, but then started to lead to rebound migraines. Maxalt was equally magic at killing the migraine FAST, and better at not causing the rebounds, but expensive, and DHE plus ginger capsules was probably the most cost-effective solution. But every person is different, and what works for some will not for others. So work with your doctor. And if your doctor offers only Tylenol, find a different doctor!

A useful page with many of the options is the Mayo Clinic site. Specifically the sections on Triptans and Ergots.

My coffee seems to be sadly lacking in the caffeine department this morning.

I hate when that happens. So, rather than take a chance, I'm drinking Peet's English Breakfast Blend tea this morning.

And popping a couple of Peet's chocolate covered espresso beans.

I could'a had a V8!

CRussel · 03-02-2016, 03:02 PM

You could'a. But why would you want'a?

Another pot of English Breakfast tea. It's going to be a long day.
