D is for Dr. Pepper


I am grateful for Dr. Pepper, but not only because I love the taste, but because it has saved me migraines during this pregnancy. I had been having migraines and thought I needed a new prescription so I went to the eye doctor. It turned out that this pregnancy has caused an increase of spinal fluid causing me to get migraines. The way to treat this is generally through a diuretic, but due to the pregnancy that wasn't an option. But what was an option was drinking caffeine, because it is a diuretic (though not as strong as the stuff they prescribe!). It has been a life saver and lessened my migraines immensely!
