About the coffee addiction.. If I dont have coffee for breakfast I get a headache almost 100% of the time by the time afternoon arrives. The only thing that helps is either painkillers or coffee with carbohydrates on the side, like bread or whatever. Literally feels like my brain is a sponge that soaks it all up then

caffeine withdrawals do that. Head hurts by noon and takes a full day to go away. Pain killers are almost always loaded with caffeine.

@@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy almost always? where?also my caf withdrawal headaches lasted I think 4(+?) days. Don't drink it the same anymore. anyway, here there are a few prescriptions. then a few menstrual cramp meds and I can think of 3 brand name products ( two are the same combo but marketed differently) then the two, three powders. of course there are the generics but those are to grab a market share of those same 3 brands. I can literally name about 100 different brands of 1 active ingredients. if inhad to guess I would say about 1-2% have caffeine and likely under 1. That's not worldwide though only of my experience. here in the house there's probably 10-12 bottles and only one has café.and i specifically went to buy it for a reason. In not arguing or anything in curious and asking. thanks. have a good one

@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy 6 жыл бұрын

well you got your Tylenols that dont do jack to a headache, unless you got a wee baby booboo headache, but will do absolutely nothing to a caffeine headache. same with your ibuprofens, and Motrins. You are right there, there are dozens of brands and mixups for these kinds of pain meds. Which are not for pain, but inflammation...someone should do something about that little point which makes a huge difference. Then you have everything that says "headache/migraine" which is false adverting, since they wont come close to touching the pain of a real migraine. They are usually loaded with caffeine. 65+mg per pill. (Exhedrines, extra strength headache reliefs, etc) which should also be sued into oblivion for the fact that taking caffeine for a caffeine withdrawal headache will only give you another headache the next day when the caffeine withdrawals kick in,. also your ascomp with codeine have caffeine. Even your Canadian pain meds with Acetaminophen have caffeine in them. (300mg acetaminophen, 15mg caffeine, and 8mg Codeine.) Virtually ALL meds made to treat headaches have caffeine.

Yours, are absolutely awesome in there spontaneity and wit and the crafting knowledge comes through without fluff and bs. Keep it up guys....you should be well over a million but it takes time and effort. Y'all are me and my friends.....50 years ago..so natural and great personalities. Never lose touch with your methods.
