It may be the type of coffee you were using, or some other factor such as overall body hydration.
Normally, I can drink coffee up to a certain limit beyond which I get a queasy, jumpy feeling. Where we lived for a few years down in Louisiana, there was this guy who ran a coffee shop and I could drink his coffee as strong as he could make it yet never felt queazy, or jumpy.
He was a real purist who carefully selected his beans and roasted what he would need for the day each morning. I always liked to get his belgian mocha which he made by melting bars of belgian chocolate.
If I didn't get much sleep the previous night, or if we were about to get in the car to drive up to Ohio to visit family, I'd order the belgian mocha with a double shot of espresso. It would keep me going all day in a very alert state without the queazy, jumpy feeling I normally get when drinking large quantities of coffee in order to combat fatigue.
I've often wondered what it was about it that kept me from feeling queazy and jumpy? Was it the bean variety, the fresh roast, or was there something about the chocolate? Perhaps it was a little of each.
Oh thanks, no I never thought of that and I’ll keep it in mind if I have a serious flare up, which I do once in a while when the kids insist on extra spicy fajita meals, lol Especially if I had a couple of days eating rich food and not paying attention to what I’m eating. It usually happens when my kids are here on vacation and they like to eat out a lot as well as have Mom’s best rich pasta meals.
I’ll have to get some and try it.
Drink good coffee. You can sleep when you are dead.
I fully agree with you.
But we’re not going to hear about the cigarette link at all.
Be sure to get the regular old Alka, NOT the cold remedy one. As a matter of fact, generic works just fine.
It won’t even be researched.
I drink a very nice medium roast Papua New Guinea.
You can sleep when you are dead.
I hope so...
