I am pretty much now drinking coffee indiscriminately, but still overall drinking less than I was a few months ago (it had really gotten out of hand). I believe there may be a strong comfort aspect to this at the moment. There are mood/energy issues at times, but not always.

The feeling better seems to come and go, even with the coffee on board. It's probably related to other things, in addition to the coffee. I believe coffee does make a difference, but perhaps not a night and day difference.

Anyway, I think I need to keep drinking coffee for now, and just be watchful.

I guess I will ask about antacids when our pharmacy reopens in September.

When inspiration strikes, I will have a no-coffee day and only have tea.

Things may change in a while.
