Slowly, Slowly, she sank into the sea ...

I've had a headache for going on 3 days now.

I can push it back a little, keep it at bay, with ibuprofen, but it hasn't ever quite gone, just sort of faded back a bit. When it comes back it's been fairly bad.

I think it's probably from my slowly quitting caffeine. I've been cutting back, cutting back, a little less every day or two. Measuring carefully, some regular, some decaf. I'm down from 4 T. regular (my starting baseline) in a BIG cup to 2 tsp. regular, 1 tsp + 2 T. decaf in a smaller cup.

So I think the slow-quit has kept away the migraines.

But not the headaches. They've come and gone throughout the slow withdrawal, until the last 3 days where they've mostly just stayed. I'm hoping when I finally drop the last bit of caffeine this week they won't get worse.

Stupid drug.

Remind me, this time, to stay quit. Once I get quit.
