Caffeine De-Tox Day 1

I had to make a drastic change to try to get to sleep, and I decided to go caffeine free. I had a small amount in the middle of the day, comes to about a cup of coffee, which way down from what I was doing, about seven cups. BTW, I don't drink coffee. It does bad things to my prostate. I'm giving the estimate of the amount of caffeine in cups of coffee. It was averaging about 600-700 mg a day that I took by tablets, or tablet pieces.

It's not bad so far. I have this kind disassociated feeling, and a headache, which I discovered, emanates not from in my head, but in my scalp, which is sore to the touch in the places I feel the headache. Also, I'm sweating a bit.

I'm a little surprised I got any work done. I'm calling it a sick day. I thought being off the pick-me-up stuff would lead to several, tired, draggy withdrawal days. Why? Because it has before. As W. C. Fields said (look him up on Wikipedia), "There's no problem in quitting drinking. I've done it dozens of times."

But caffeine isn't alcohol, of course. W. C. Fields didn't quit enough. He died of alcoholism.

I might go back to caffeine sometime, let's face it, that's realistic, but by then, I'll be caught up on sleep.
