Jerry-<br><br>You are absolutely right! In the emergency room we put patients with intractable migraines on caffeine drips- IV. It's a stop gap measure. Quite different from the chronic, trendy, addictive use we practice in this country.<br><br>We'll never know how John Muir, Weston the pedestrian, and so many other famous walkers survived out on the trails (or lack thereof) with no caffeine or "electrolyte replacement" drinks........hmmmmm.<br><br><br><b><i>Jerry Goller <jerrygoller@backpackgeartest.org></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"> <meta content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16544" name="GENERATOR"> <div dir="ltr" align="left"><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial"><span class="878593817-12112007">A lot of migraine medications have caffeine in them.
