ive been off caffeine for several months and i cheated and had a cup of tea and just felt like a genius

i quit bc supposedly it can raise blood sugar and is bad for POSTURAL ORTHOSTATIC TACHYCARDIA but i dunno i might get bck on it. i miss tea. it raises cortisol.


side note, physiologic stress can raise your fasting blood sugar level. i doubt you ahve that problem but it's something to be aware of for people in chronic pain

is neat software. it puts you to sleep though at night by getting rid of the lcd/blue light effect, so im not sure if this is a good thread to post. i just wanna plug it

Do you think that's from the increase in circulation? Or do you think other factors contribute? If it's just from circulation, then exercise should be an acceptable substitute.

There have been recent studies that found mental performance went up immediately after brisk walking. Of course, I realize that's more work than drinking something, but it has extra benefits that make it worthwhile.

Or maybe tea is the right balance point for you. It has less caffeine than coffee for example.

At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postura...ardia_syndrome it says that caffeine helps some patients and worsens others.

I forget what coffee taste like.....I advise supplement with Whiskey. In the morning it killls all the bad bacteria in your mouth. Great start to the day....but it does go good in coffee...

Coffee and Crown!

Godspeed and Good Luck, my friend. May you never have to troll TOS boards again as you're a surgical success story.

it is circulation, partially
