I suffer from regular migraine for several years and I just discovered that coffee works like a drug.

I'm not a coffee drinker.

Just coincidentally a few months ago, i took a few sips of Americano/Kopi-0 when i have had a migraine. At that time, my wife bought a cup of Americano and i just gave a try because it just smells nice.

Miraculously, the migraine went away roughly one hour after i took the few sips.

I suspected it's the caffeine in the coffee. Because it's weird that the migraine disappeared just like that.

So, I did it again and again every time I have had a migraine and it went away roughly one hour after i started sipping the few sips of coffee. I did not even drink a cup of coffee. Few sips is just enough for me.

Otherwise, I would have taken panadol everytime I have had a migraine. And sometimes, the panadol doesn't even really relieve the migraine. So, sometimes i don't bother to take panadol at all and just bear the pain.

Still, i don't drink coffee and i just treat it as a drug for me.

it doesn't come back until the next round. So, it works like panadol.

Let's say for example, i had a migraine attack on the morning of 1st August. I took a few sips and the migraine is gone.

Then later, let's say i have another migraine on 15th August. I took a few sips and the migraine is gone.

I suspect the migraine is related to lack of sleep. I see most of the times is due to this especially if i sleep late the day before.

But sometimes (not too often) it can still come even if I have had enough of sleep the day before. So, i don't know what is the root cause.
