On Saturday, and I know this will sound strange, I forgot to drink coffee. I made the coffee, but I was inking, and I just never got around to actually pouring and drinking the coffee. At the time it didn’t bug me; I’m a morning person by nature, and I wake up pretty energetic. I have never felt like I needed coffee to get going in the morning or anything. But by early afternoon I had a cranium-splitting headache, and had to stop everything I was doing and take some ibuprofen and lie down and eventually fall asleep for a little bit. I guess it could be any number of things that caused the headache, but I suspect it was that I skipped the coffee. I don’t think of myself as being that addicted to it, but clearly my body’s pretty dependent on it, huh?
I think you're sauceome.

Could have just been the heat and some dehydration. But I found I need my 1 cup (just 1, maybe even just 1/2) to feel right all day.
So, um, hi! I’m a first time commenter– but I gotta say, it was the coffee! I’ve been confused about the migraines I’ve been having for years (ever since I started drinking coffee regularly), and finally I realized I got them every time I didn’t drink coffee. Now, I’ve weaned myself off, and here’s hoping they’ll leave completely. :) It’s amazing what a bit of caffeine can do to your body after regular consumption… and kind of scary to consider, seeing as how sweet and innocent a cuppa coffee seems.
Yup. I agree with your diagnosis. May I suggest: decaf?
