My name is Jessica and I'm a caffeine addict.

Yesterday morning I woke up to a pounding headache. The kind I'm used to after sleeping funny & causing a horrible debilitating ache all along my back, neck, and into my head. It was so bad that I just popped a painkiller within 20 minutes of waking up. I also used my handheld massager to try to work the kinks out in order to get my headache to go away. About 5 hours later I took another painkiller. The headache was manageable but still bothersome. I had an insane feeling of tiredness, too, but not like any normal tiredness that I have during the day. I'd slept great the night before but I felt like I could fall back in bed & go straight to sleep in the middle of the day!

Once I put the kids down for their nap I finally sat down to enjoy a cup of coffee. I normally partake in the morning but I decided to hold off until I could enjoy it without interruption. Something happened, too. My headache completely went away. The tiredness also went away & I felt so much better. I usually only drink 1-2 cups a day, but lately, with all of the business in our lives, I have been drinking a bit more coffee than usual.

I realized that on Thursday morning I didn't finish my full cup of coffee in the morning and then that was it for the rest of the day. I'm sure part of my headache on Friday morning was from sleeping funny, but apparently some of it was lack of caffeine - I can't believe how much relief I felt after drinking that afternoon coffee!

Legal addictive stimulants, indeed....
