One of the few things that is almost always guaranteed to get rid of a headache is Chinese and caffeinated pop.  (I have a weird body, I know this.)  So I went and got take-out and ordered a large drink. I didn't realize I was getting the OMG-I-can-swim-in-that size.  I mean, seriously?  This this thing is huge!  Anyway, it did fit into my cup holder - barely.  And then the lid popped off.  As I was going 70.  Yeah, it was cold.  And I have a puddle on the floor of my car now.  

Still... The food did help the headache, and so did the pop, which I'm steadily drinking.  Though honestly, this thing could probably last me days, it's so large!  Sheesh.

*laughs loudly and probably quite rudely* That's hilarious. I'm very sorry about your wet, squelchy car, but that's just funny.

You have to be very careful with those humongodrinks. For me the combo that cures all ills is unsweet tea and etoufee. Or hot tea and Indian. Yum!

Trust me, after I yelped a bit at how damned cold it was (I had ice running down my leg!) I was laughing, too.

Hot tea usually helps, too, but in cases like this headache, a large pop is usually the thing that will kick it. Still... I'm thinking of posting a picture of this thing so people can appreciate how very large it is!

A friend of mine used to drink a Pepsi whenever he had a migraine. Now I know why!

I think it has something to do with the caffeine and sugar mix. When my sister gets a migraine she drinks Coke, and it has the same effect. Very odd, but effective, lol.

Chinese food often gives me a headache, but that's probably because of the very sweet sauces the pour over most everything here. My migraine drug of choice is chips (as in french fries). Helps every time. Hope your headache is gone now.

The Chinese food you eat could have MSG in it, which I know can give people a headache. French fries do sound good, though. My headache came back so I'm hoping that maybe something really salty may help. At this point I'm torn between ripping my own head off and snarfing down the rest of the pop. I think the pop is the better choice. For now, anyway.

Yes, drinking the soda is probably the less drastic option :-) I hope it'll help.

It could be MSG, I don't know how much they prepare themselves and how much comes from factories. And since I normally prepare (almost) everything I eat myself and from products without any artificial flavouring, colouring or whatnot, I don't come across those at a regular basis. Or they could add loads of sugar. I know for a fact that sugar gives me a headache.
