I have been known to go without... it's just... I *like* coffee! I drink it black! And strong! (just like--nevermind)
But I normally drink exactly one travelmug's worth of coffee daily. And actually, one to two cups (measured cups, I presume, not Starbuck's Grandemochafrappuchinowithwhip cups) is the recommended moderate amount. Where I think I fall down is on weekends, when cool weather can double or triple the number of mugs of aromatic coffee I fetch. Or, alternatively, a day when I have a migraine and eat/drink *nothing*. So I'm working on consistency.
The lack of outward, visible symptoms is so strange. Because sometimes, it's other people who tell me that I look wrong. Too pale, too tired, too pained. The remark that I look just as bad as I feel usually prompts me to visit just how bad it really is, and often in trying to articulate that I realize I can't, and I have a migraine.
It is a wretched kind of pain, but I wish people who can't sympathize could find a way to empathize. One real migraine, just once. Yes.
