FYI I am posting this so you might avoid what happened to me. About two years ago during an eye exam I was told I had glaucoma, so the doctor prescribed drops. I found it hard to believe, because all my previous pressure readings were low, but my doctor dismissed my concern that the one high reading was because I drank mucho coffee before the exam. I ended up using the prescribed drops----until CRPS intervened and I was too ill to deal with getting another prescription for the drops.

Just FYI for us coffee and tea lovers. Caffeine has powerful effects on the neurovascular system and may have deleterious effects on CRPS for some. I had to cut it out altogether for about a year and only recently added in a single daily caffeinated shot to my decaf latte. Just sayin....it may be worth cutting to see if affects ones circulation and pain any.

Thank you for all the information so far, even though this is not my thread, I have found it very informative. Littlepaw, I have been doing my best to cut back on my coffee addiction since sometime in July. I am down to 3-5 cups a day, which is far better than where I was then.
