I've had a serious headache for 6 days straight and don't know why... I kept thinking, well, coffee usually takes my headache away so I kept drinking coffee... I think I drank a whole 12 cup pot for 3 days straight and it still didn't work! - THEN, I ran into something on the internet that said an 8 oz cup of coffee has around 100mg of caffeine in it - that's twice the caffeine in a 12 oz Mt. Dew! - Soooo, basically I pounded the equivalent of 8 Mt. Dew's for 3 days straight... NO WONDER I HATE A FREAKING HEADACHE!!!

I consume about 2 cups of coffee daily that off course contains a lot of caffeine as i like hard coffee but one must have coffee as an habit not rather as occasions . I might sound weired to many but if we consume coffee daily that wont have as drastic effect as if you consume once a week .Its like your system needs to be familiar to coffee or else you gonna have lot of problems.

I would stay away or at least limit your intake of caffeine for the time being at least while your headache lasts. Try to drink a lot of water if possible. I am also a tea addict. So i might have a lot of tea in my blood
