She's reading the signs, she's holding the line between tea and sympathy
Back in the fall, I had two incidences of drink a latte-get a migraine. Rather than seek medical advice or question the sudden change from lattes being my best friend to silent tormenter, I just stopped drinking them. Cold turkey. I have not had expresso since.
I need you to understand my love of hazelnut lattes. They make me very happy. Some people reward themselves with chocolate, jewelry, trips to exotic locations. I would reward myself with lattes. In Colorado, it was the only way I could get myself to work some days.
Yesterday, while sorting through the giant pile of paper junk that had accumulated in my office, I saw a picture of steamed milk being poured into what we will assume was a cappucino. While I hate cappucinos, this made me incredibly sad. I miss my lattes. My attempts to limit myself to one cup of coffee and one caffy tea a day are getting better. I would experiment with decaf lattes, but the risk of two days of pain is too great.
So, the next time you drink a latte, please stop to think "this one's for Sara" and enjoy every drop of it.

I had a Starbucks latte and a Seattle made muffin at the Minneapolis airport during my layover early last Wed. morning. Had I known of your plight, I would have thought of you! It really tasted good after a red-eye flight from Seattle!
Thank you Lois!
I get alot of migraines... sometimes everyday for a week straight. Since I'm not a fan of medication with a laundry list of side effects, I have taken to using a product called Head On. It's homeopathic and it is just a stick of stuff you rub on your forehead... So, go ahead and have your latte! Just be sure to pick up a stick of "Head On" and make sure you have an hour to lay down and relax. It's worth it, and so are you :)
