[RC] headaches - NancyI got a horrible headache at my last ride due to dehydration. It took Vicodan to get rid of the pain. Really taught me a lesson! I am worried about my horse drinking, heck I need to worry about my water consumption too. I am also very sensitive to caffeine. I either have to drink it every day or not at all. A diet Coke will give me a headache the following day! I have found a over the counter combo that works well and is much less expensive than Imitrex, Pepcid and Excedrin Migraine. Works wonders if taken when the pain starts. Also diet drinks can dehydrate you with it's diuretic properties too.

I sit at a computor or in my car most days, have a tense neck and stretching helped, but here's what I noticed really seemed to do the trick. Drinking water!!! At least a gallon per day. Once I started this, my headaches are down from 3-4 per week to maybe once per month. I really think I was dehydrated and my head was trying to tell me! heidi =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
