I'm a fairly pessimistic person, But I'll  go out on a limb and say that Jeff's boss is being honest with him. If I were someone's boss and I knew they felt awful and wasn't likely to be able to produce much for the day, I'd probably send them home. 

Exactly.  My boss is not a cruel person.  He is not going to make me suffer in silence and be unproductive.  I would have been wasting my time and his time and could potentially screw something up royally.

The fact that Bushie continues to ignore the posts relating to the simplest cure for his self-induced headaches - even engaging with parts of posts that have to do with something else, but ignoring the other parts with simple advice for avoiding his headaches - shows that he has both a chronic victim complex and serious mental illness.

Bushie, do you seriously not drink any water when you have a headache? I can't imagine doing such a thing. I feel like it's something that is simply a part of basic animal instincts.

Also, WTF is a "migraine pill?" Is he talking about Advil? Tylenol? Is someone hooking him up with Vicodin?

I just can't imagine how someone in apparently so much pain wants to do nothing about it.

Because it's all about doing what's most expedient and facilitates laziness. I actually believe Jeff when he says his headache was so bad this morning that he had to leave work, and if his boss allowed it, so be it.

But rather than try to get himself well in any way, he continues to eat like sh[ink], drink nothing but headache-inducing soda and get literally no exercise. Plus he watches hours and hours of TV, because it's easy.

Successful people don't do "easy" -- therefore, Jeff will never succeed. He doesn't have it in him in any way other than to just talk and "plan." Useless words backed up by years of inaction.

Ever heard of Imitrex?  That's what my mother takes.  I take Maxalt.  They are stronger than regular OTC pain relievers.

I'm a lot better than I was this morning.  We had chili for supper tonight, nothing out of the ordinary for most Americans.  I only had one bowl.  I did have a coke with it, but the sugary sodas don't give me headaches.  I ruled those out a long time ago through a series of personal tests.  Sugar and caffeine do not affect my headaches.  In fact, for me, the sugar and caffeine actually acts as a pain reliever, not a pain inducer.  Right now, I'm drinking a Diet Dr Pepper.  I'll take this moderate headache any day over the double whopper of a migraine I had this morning. (See what I did there. Tongue )

Yes. It's called obfuscation.

Stop pretending you're some sort of a "different animal." You're a human being, albeit an extremely poor specimen of one. Pop may not make headaches worse, but drinking nothing but will ensure your body stays dehydrated. Dehydration equals the loss of water in your brain tissue, causing your brain to shrink, pull away from the skull and inducing a headache. It also causes your blood volume to drop, lowering the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain.

You need water. Not any ol' liquid. Not something that makes you lick your bloated lips. WATER. Di-hydrogen Monoxide. And if you refuse out of some warped sense of self-righteousness, you are only hurting yourself.

What's sickening is, in your "personal experiments," you likely only experimented with what sort of awful sh[ink] you could continue to put in your body without making you feel worse, rather than seeing if anything recommended by EVERYONE would make you feel better.

Lazy. Lazy. Lazy.

Yes. I seriously doubt Bushie has a special disease that makes the parameters of his headaches different than anyone else. He may not even have his mother's gene. He may have his fathers. It's hard to tell because he eats a diet that would give anybody a headache.

Until he starts drinking near a gallon water a day, eating spinach, mushrooms, avocados with every meal, and still has a headache, then he has a special disease. Otherwise, he's just being unhealthy.

Bushie, when was the last time you drank a full glass of water, straight up, with nothing added?

Most health and scientific experts would probably agree not everybody reacts to the same things the exact same way.  It's part of what makes us unique individuals.  Caffeine may be a stimulant for some and a depressant for others.  Caffeine may cause headaches for some, and cure headaches for others.  God did not create everybody the exact same.  He created everybody different.  Nobody is exactly alike, not even identical, biological twins.  That's why the medical and pharmaceutical industries have created so many different medications to treat the same condition.  Not everybody responds to the exact same stimuli the exact same way.  I'm not saying I'm a special case, I'm just saying I am a unique individual.

Either God or Bushie's Native American / Kenyan spirit guide will now transfer some of your good health his way, so that he can go to work tomorrow.

Even I'm drinking water right now, although I had 5 pops today. It's not that hard to drink water. It even tastes rather refreshing.

So you don't require water? Your body is perfectly healthy in a state of constant dehydration?
