I cannot tolerate my morning coffee anymore!  I can't stay out of the bathroom all morning when I drink it.  I guess I could switch to decaf but I really love my coffee!  I have a big problem with fatigue so it helps me stay alert.  Oh well I just wanted to gripe a little bit this morning and feel sorry for myself. cry

I'm so sorry!! I totally sympathize. Out of all the things I have given up or would potentially have to give up, Coffee would be at the top of the list of what I would have a hard time doing without. Chocolate is second, although I will occasionally suffer thru it and have a couple Hershey's kisses.

Could you switch to hot tea? I know.....I know......it's not the same. I'm a tea drinker (LOVE my hot tea!) so it would be like someone suggesting I switch to coffee. Can't do it. BUT since your coffee isn't agreeing with you, tea (black) would still enable you to get your caffeine fix for the day! I feel for ya. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't have my tea.

Oh, I know. It's horrible. I can't even touch a drop of caffeine since I got sick. No coffee, chocolate, caffeinated teas, soda...anything. It keeps me in the bathroom all day. :(
