Hmmmm.

I think I might need to stop drinking coffee. This induces panic in me, making me wonder how I'm going to stay awake through my workday. However, the physiological effects are starting to take their toll - I can feel my muscles bunching and trying to pull away from the bone as I finish my second cup. That area in my chest that tightens whenever I haven't eaten enough/am too stressed/whatever - the place that makes it feel like I have rebar sticking through my torso and/or am having a heart attack - that's playing up, too.

It's not like the servings are huge, either. I take in probably 12 oz. of coffee total, and always before 10 a.m., else I can't sleep at night. This is ridiculous.

But the muscle bunching? So not fun. I'll try cutting down first, see if that works.


Eh. It's a small thing in the grand scheme of things.

Do you like tea? My body can't take coffee most of the time, but tea's caffeine doesn't hit the body as fast (Alton Brown backs me up on this).

You poor girl. I'm starting to come to the same conclusion; thankfully, I like tea, so that may be the route I take.

I have the same problems. Knots in my back, thudding heart, and it's always a toss-up whether I'll be hyper and productive or just freaking out anxious.

I've shifted to decaf unless I REALLY need the kickstart.

Try half-caff?
