for me a 'shot' of coffee breaks an oncoming attack
however, with the pain returning every couple of hours, it starts to get dangerous
i end up not sleeping for days
everytime i dozed off i would get attacked again, which meant i had to hit the java again
this played havoc on my mental well-being
not to mention the damage to my stomach
i figured that the pain would keep me awake anyway, so why not use the caffeine to control it
knowing that eventually the beast would stop was comforting
i then could take a break from the coffee
now when i drink it, i have an adverse reaction and fall asleep
because of the vascular constricting properties, it works, but just be careful as to how much you use
hope this helps
