Attention all you coffee lovers

Hubby learned quickly that I am good for nothing till I get a cup of black java. Without one I just drift back to sleep, and have done so since my early teens. This means that I never woke completely up before 10 AM without that 1-2 cups of coffee that I began consuming at age 19. I don't usually want any when I am sick, so I just sleep most of the day. Have never had an side effects or withdrawal symptoms.

You don't have the withdrawals until you have been without it a day of two.The headaches can be pretty bad.

When I have severe bronchitis I am sometimes sick for a month. I have never developed headaches or any other symptom during that time during or after that time.. I rarely get headaches but getting one every few years is enough to cause me to have great empathy for those who do get them.

Hey sis. Can you give advice to people like me who need to cut down on their caffeine intake?

Maybe that explains those people you see in a foul mood before they have their first cup of coffee in the morning?  Interesting article.  I find that having that first cup of coffee can have a relaxing effect, even though most doctors you hear say it gives you the jitters.  After years of demonizing the dangers of coffee, we are starting to hear positive things about it. 

 

I cant drink coffee (it makes me ill) but I love the taste. For the past 22 yrs I have not had but maybe one cup a year. That one cup gives me the worst shakes lol. Im jittery for an hour or so. Later I get ill, stomach pain, from coffee. Sigh. Wish I could have the taste without the pain.

 

My hubby is giddy. He saw a news item today that drinking coffee can help reduce the risks from getting alzheimers. Now he has an excuse to drink large amounts of it lol.

If you take a coffee holiday, that is one day per week without coffee, then you avoid having nasty caffeine withdrawal headaches.

Cut it with decaf or get a good quality decaf. Try consumer reports to find a good tasting one. I have been useing 8 o'clock Columbian shipped to me from amazon because it is not bitter, and I can't tell it from their decaf. For a while I mixed them. They also sell one in the grocery stores that is supposed to be good. But I don't drink real coffee after noon. I have more trouble with decaf. It seems to enhance my pain.

Well,you need to wean yourself from the stuff.Don't cut it out completely because then you will have the headaches.You might go half decaf and half regular for a week and see how you feel.Their is some pretty decent decaf out there.If you are still getting the headaches then add alittle more of the regular stuff.Just kind of play around with it like that.After a week and the 1/2 and 1/2 is working then add more decaf than regular.

Have you tried (dare I suggest it) decaf? They make decaf espresso that has the taste but not the jitters that have helped some people I know.

Even decaf is too much for me. Its not caffeine that hurts me. There is some other component to coffee that hurts me. I end up with a sharp stabbing pain in my stomach whenever I drink it. That lasts for about a day.
