Overdosed with coffee - crashed really badly.

Coffee is like poison to me. I noticed that I am no longer able to eat dark chocolate either, if I eat dark chocolate start panting like an old dog almost as bad as if I drink coffee. Seriously, allergic to dairy no milk choc either! I guess pleasure is not allowed if you have ME.

First, I gave up coffee.
Then alcohol, then,
bread and pastries (gluten)
Cheese (dairy)
Chocolate

the list is getting longer.

Worst was dairy, I loved cheese. With wine . :cry:
 
Oh dear, maybe try decaf? I have just discovered you can get very nice decaf ground coffee :geek:

My dumbest method of crashing is going downstairs to get a drink, forgetting why I went, going back upstairs with something I didn't need, remembering I need a drink, going back down to get one, forgetting why I went... repeat several times... collapse :rofl: :dead:
 
Tea really can give me a boost but I think I'm one of those people with terribly slow caffeine metabolism. If I have two cups in a day I can't get to sleep and I still feel it going the next morning. I envy people who can suck down coffee all day if they want and have no problem. Must allow for a much more targeted approach of caffeine hits.

I was eating a lot of dark chocolate for a while but I noticed I was really irritable a lot of the time because of it. For some reason tea doesn't have that effect.

Caffeine makes my heart race and last time I tried more than very weak green tea, made my heart skip beats too. And it keeps me awake and makes me jittery. I don't have any now except the trace in my one cup of very weak green tea a day.
What's strange for me is I drink a black-green tea blend with no trouble. But I got some plain green and got all sorts of palpitations and insomnia and general weird body feelings from that. A family friend with fibromyalgia also reports that green tea specifically gives her palpitations, but apparently black tea is fine.
