Recently I have been struck down by horrendous headaches. Not slight aches and twinges, but that gradually building, absolutely head splitting, "I feel like I drank 2 litres of vodka last night" POUNDING type. I wondered what may have brought this on so suddenly. I put it down to two factors. The first being work - I stare at a screen quite often on a daily basis, I'll admit, but not with the intense concentration and effort that I do when I'm working. Plus my screen is currently rooted with an ugly dark shadow over half of it (very annoying), causing strain to the eyeballs I'm sure.
And then there's the big factor - Pepsi Max. Or should I say, LACK OF.
For the last few months, there's never been a shortage of the beverage dubbed "Smax" in Lawrence Court. I pound the stuff breakfast, noon and night. I live on it. Since I began work I haven't had my usual endless supply of it. It didn't take me long to realise I am having caffeine withdrawals of a severe kind. Even as I type this now I feel hungover. I haven't had alcohol for like 2 weeks.
So I'm gonna give up Smax. It's not healthy to be so dependent on the stuff. I'm weaning myself off (had some coffee today) but the pain remains for now!
I read something somewhere about Pepsi Max having another addictive ingredient other than caffeine? Just goog'd it quickly, couldn't find it, but if anyone knows anything about this let me know!
I've still got a bit of assignment and an exam to go. So my timing could have been better. Oh well!
PS. There's a total lunar eclipse tonight. Good motivation to stay up till 5am doing assignments. I'll post pics if I can get anything decent on the ol' iPhone cam.
