I want coffee!!!!!

It's 7:30am and almost 4 months without coffee.  I want it more than I want the McDonalds hamburger that I am craving for some unknown reason.  I tried a cup in December and the guts said "umm no".  The prednisone is kicking in....climbing stairs is actually easy right now!  I think I will try a cup of coffee tonight at home.  I think I miss the artifical creamer in it as much as the taste of the coffee....and hot tea is just not the same.  Wow...I am obsessed with coffee......Hi I'm Erin and I need my coffee.

I feel your pain! I love coffee and my keurig to the point of obsession but I can only tolerate one cup a day. I feel very lucky to be able to have that!

Good luck...maybe you`ll be ok with the low acid as QE suggested.

I just HAD to have coffee this morning. Just minutes after my first few sips my tummy started rumbling. Nothing yet...but, soon, I am sure I might be regretting it. I, however, do not care. I'm SO exhausted and just needed a 'pick-me-up'... even if, ironically, it ends up putting me down for a bit. I was complimented by a close friend and even a few strangers- they said I "look perky and not exhausted like usual." I am not sure how to take that.... it was like a sweet, but insulting compliment. Oh well... it is SO great to have some coffee.
My recommendation... have some on a Sunday when it is rainy. That way... if itmakes you sick (which I hope it doesn't), you can just curl up on the couch and take movie breaks in between the bathroom trips.

Okay.... I take it back. Don't do it unless you really just need it. As long as nothing is wrong with your gallbladder or pancreas - you'd probably be better off than me at the moment. Not going to lie... I will probably have some next week again though.

Hope y'all got your coffee fix! If anything else... there are studies that show that holding a handful of coffee beans in your hand and squeezing them for a while is really good for a caffeine fix, too. Or, a coffee scrub of sorts is apparently really great for that, too. I realize, however, that the process of drinking it is half of what makes it amazing.

It's a double.

Good luck!!! I drink one cup of coffee I piddle 10 cups. I drink 3-4 cups of coffee and it thoroughly cleans out the digestive tract as well. Needless to say I am not a fan of coffee.

Interestingly, it can't be the caffeine since virtually no liquid but CocaCola Classic passed my lips for some 50 years w/no problems at all.

Haha... Coffee was fine up until this past semester out of nowhere. Oh well... I still enjoy a cup every now and then - I just make sure I am close to a bathroom where nobody can hear anything. The professors let me use the private bathroom that is downstairs where all of their offices are. I feel a little shy when they notice me running down the hall to the bathroom...but, they all know so they don't say anything. Having a mutual understanding of "when ya gotta go, ya gotta go" is great.

I know the feeling, LexiRae... that will probably be me tomorrow or Sunday.
Hope you feel better soon!
