Some 2 day headache, but then that was it. I switched to one cup of caffeinated tea a day, and at the end of Lent, didn't go back to coffee. I still love the smell of coffee and coffee ice cream, but keep away from the caffeine. A few years back I even switched to decaf tea. It's worth it! You'll also save $$! I agree with what others have said about proceeding with caution.<BR/> As always, I'm thinking of you and have you and your family in my prayers.<BR/> EileenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4880600350163850685.post-25436312364377460792009-01-21T16:40:00.000-05:002009-01-21T16:40:00.000-05:00The caffeine, is so hard to give up my husband gav...The caffeine, is so hard to give up my husband gave up smoking before he could give up caffeine, and yes it was so hard, and the small withdrawals were worst, headache were the worst... but I know you can do it, take care hopefully will call tomorrow, and can't wait till Sunday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4880600350163850685.post-23501143326465503872009-01-21T12:03:00.000-05:002009-01-21T12:03:00.000-05:00I certainly applaud your decision to eat more heal...I certainly applaud your decision to eat more healthily, but please exercise caution. From what little I know, there are certain vitamins and herbal treatments that can interact with presecriptions. <BR/>So, do it, by all means, but discuss what you are taking with your primary caretakers. I am sure that you are already doing this...just wanted to reiterate the idea.<BR/>Also, I am pretty sure that you have withdrawal from caffeine, and that usually involves headaches and other subtle pains.<BR/>Take care...<BR/>CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
