is he trying to KILL me??
YOU be the judge.

So, I spent the last few months, weaning myself off caffeine.
I started adding decaf to the top of the scoop and daily lowering the ratio of caffeine to decaff until there was no caffeine. I’ve been decaffeinatated for about three weeks now. my sack of ground decaf sits right next to the coffee maker in a beautiful celedon bowl atop a wooden trivet.
so this morning the man says, “I made coffee…you probably won’t like it, it’s a little strong.” he said it tasted like crap and he wasn’t going to drink any. so I drank most of the pot. guess what folks…he made regular.
so I’m having hot flashes, sweating, twitching, seeing colors, a little trouble breathing (not bad, just noticable), shaking, irritated (!! I know, I know, how can I tell the difference), and I’m having heart fibrilations.
now that is bad enough right? but I have paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, which in a nutshell means, I shouldn’t have coffee.
yesterday he brings up divorce. today…this.
so what do YOU think.
fucker. cracked crispy fuckmonster.
(does anyone know something that will reverse this…short of a trip to the hospital?)

Shite. Flush it out of your system, I guess, by drinking bladder-bursting amounts of water.
Then put a scorpion in his loafers.
Damn.
I quit sugar and my husband brought me home a huge ice cream cake for my birthday. I took one look at it and threw it in the trash.
oh shit! That is the worst feeling, like you just took a butt load of speed and your muscles are twitchy. I am thinking that the water then scorpions are a good idea… love ya!
ah crap, poor baby. I have no idea what I’d do, but the palpitations and such can’t possibly be good. the last time my darling caffeine did this to me was after an (espresso) shot drinking contest, and I just ate a lot so that my blood would rush to my stomach…
That’s way fucked up. He knows you have this condition? Is he in anyway concerned?
Personally, since you know you have a problem, then if you feel bad go to the hospital. That’s playing the ‘rather safe that sorry’ game but it works for me. Good luck!
dude, that just ain’t right. i don’t know much about killing the buzz, though; i live at half-capacity for caffeine, so i never ODed on it. you could always just ride the wave and, like, reshingle your house.
good luck, honey, with all of it.
snort…yeah, I got a lot of housework done before I peaked and started shaking and seeing pretty lights.
apparently vodka helps.
yeah, water, that’s all I know. I took these diet pills once that were loaded with caffeine, and I remember feeling like I’d mainlined a load of crank. Got used to it, though. Anyway, ride it out. Haha, it’ll pass. Jesus.
When it rains it’s a real shit storm.
Oh right, dude. Vodka will do the trick …Not!
Riding the wave, as Rache suggested, seems like the [in?]sane option. Drinking lots of water, too.
But I sooo know how it feels. I have been off of coffee for nearly a year now, dude. I have an irregular heartbeat as well, but I lived to drink coffee. The stronger, the buttah;- Then one day everything changed and just the thought of coffee made me sick. My advice? Go git yer gallbladder removed. Um. Works like a charm.
James is right…
I have tachycardia and hypoglycimea (plus the nine months preggo thing),today J brought home a coffee for me. The first time in months and months… maybe these two are conspiring.
Murders in which husbands kill their wives… stats show 75% of these occur while the wife is pregnant.
12 minutes later…
I would try water with lemon and a pinch of sea salt. plus make sure you’re eating okay, especially protein and veggies.
I go back and forth between decaf and regular…for my body, the scarce amount of caffiene in decaf is plenty, but regular just seems regular. I’m thinking of you and your chaste friend.
yikes! hope you’re better now. lots of H2O, I would think. A right bastard, that one.
Y’know, you could just make decaf tomorrow with antimony or arsenic in it…then just tell him you made it too weak and you’re not gonna have any, so he should drink it.
Not that I’m actually ADVOCATING such a thing, of course…
damn.
damn damn damn and damn.
me being me, I want to make it all betting. being slightly wise than I used to be I know I can’t. so I’ll just tell you I love you and I think you’re strong and that all things change. even the good ones. and always the bad things, eventually.
i used to actually read the tmcm comic from a few years ago lol.
Hooooly heck.. I’d be going with the scorpion option too, except that that poor little scorpion would suffer in his shoe, I’ve no doubt. I hate that feeling ~ it’s why I can’t have some decongestants ~ the ones with any kind of ephedrine in them just make my heart go crazy. I complained about it to my doctor once and he just went, “Yeah, that’s quite common. Nice way to wake up, though!” Me: “NO, IT’S NOT, YOU PSYCHO.”
caffeine doesn’t affect me, even though i rarely drink it anymore. yay tolerance. hope all is well.
I know I’m a little late with this, but Chamomile tea!!!! Hope you got through it okay!

How’d I miss this post? HUH??
no caffiene? Then wired? Damn..
I don’t think I could function without coffee in the morning. I’ve only been drinking it for six years (since my marriage broke up) and I don’t know how I managed to wake up before.
Why in the hell would he want to divorce you? prick.
And then he fucks with your detox!!! ahhhhhhhhh!
Coffee for you, poison for him. Something untraceable.
