Karen Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Paul, I gave up caffeine a few years ago, after the SAH ...... I found that coffee made my headaches worse ..... mind you, I did get "withdrawal" headaches for the first week or so .... which I believe, is the norm. I can drink the odd cup of tea with caffeine in it, but tend to stick to decaff types, such as Redbush tea or Green Tea ...... as for milk, well since the SAH, my tea tends to look like "builders tea" ... it's nearly black, with a dash of milk to colour it.....

paul99 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 penny you made me smile i think i had better join you at the bar lol red wine has massive amounts of tanning in it my friend had to give up coffee and tea because of the tanning and caffine totaly karen but again everyone is differnt arnt they but you admitting that you do like a very strong tea must mean something and the fact you drink green tea it would be interesting to see how many others have changed their drinking habits [ i dont mean in the bar either lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 This is all very interesting. I only drink a cup of tea in the morning but maybe I'll start giving it a miss to see if it eases my headaches too ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I only drink 1 cup of coffee a day its not decaff (dont like it, it gives me a headach strangly) but I was told that coffee stimulates the brain...... Louise.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul99 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 hi louise i think somewhere someone has mentioned they had to stop drinking coffee can think who as it is a stimulate to the brain thats why people drink it when they need to stay awake but i cant think who said it on here but someone also said a little of what you fancy does you good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hey All I didn't touch caffeine for over two years after my SAH but now I'm perfectly OK with it. I've changed my diet/drinking habits in so far as I don't touch anything with Aspartame or Asculfame (or any sweetner ending in AME) as its a neuro toxin and when I do drink anything with it in I get blinding headaches - its in most low calorie drink and some foods - worth checking if its in anything you consume and try cutting it out if it is.
