Sleep, yes. Clear head, no.

Welcome to day 3 of The Magnificent Headaches!

Today we are going to discuss why I all of a sudden have developed a headache problem. Having little guys mining in my skull used to be a rare event, and painkillers were rarely needed, but the last month or so I've been having them around far too often for comfort. I'm getting a bit worried.

I have some prescription painkillers to take when my back is making attempts on my life. These pills are meant for migraine, it says so on the box. They didn't do shit for my headache on Tuesday, however. I really don't know anything about headaches and migraines, but I assume that migraine medication is useless for ordinary headaches, and that what I have are the latter. Not that I can call them "ordinary" with a straight face.

Possible reasons for headache problem:
- Work-related stress
Hardly. Unless what I'm experiencing is a reaction to the stress last autumn.
- Too little caffeine
Very possible. I haven't been drinking nearly as much Coke as I used to. Have upped my intake of strong black tea now.
- New mp3 player, loud music on the ear all the time
Didn't affect me before. Am I growing old?
- Too little sleep
Slept well last night. My head still hurts. Maybe it will be better after a few more nights of sufficient sleep. Preferably without the unlovely nightmares.

Must go get some more tea.

Yay, my back has started to ache.
