Does anyone get coffee hangovers? what's it like for you?

[Anonymous]

So i think i keep getting coffee hang-overs since last year... i did it again yesterday and i only drink 1 cup a day, my health has gone crazy since last April, my period is super irregular, makes a long time to come, when i go out and walk around it's like total payback on my body and i've been noticing all kinds of weird physcial, emotional and mental symptoms, one of those is i'm become even more sensitive to caffine, i used to have it a bit stronger like a year spoon and a half, now i put in a tea spoon, any more and it's total and complete payback... i cannot sleep even when i had the coffee 9 - 10 hours before that... and yesterday i had my coffee longer than 10 hours before... my sleeping is bad enough, it has been for a long time so i go to bed like 7am in the morning, last night it took me 2 hours to fall sleep because some how the caffine was STILL in my system, i put 1 and a quater tea spoon in yesterday, thought it would be fine because it's Nescafe... but i was wrong...

Today i feel like crap... i'm emotional, on edge, frustrated, anxous and everything is getting to me, however i had coffee a couple of hours ago but 1 tea spoon this time and i suddenly feel awake and not so groggy any more... i real that cafffine can also effect hormones too and i feel my body telling me to suddenly not drink it every day and to cut down, is this what it's like for anyone else who has a caffine sensitivity? you think i should cut down even to just 1 cup every other day? or every 2 days?

Caffeine can be very disruptive to your body. It sounds like your body is addicted to the caffeine and the sugar so you're crashing from withdrawal. I would stop drinking those things all together. Then you'll be able to get on a better schedule that won't leave you feeling so tired in the middle of the day.

Well i haven't tried to stop although the other month i had a hangover from the coffee so i didn't drink any for 3 days and i struggled a lot :( all we mostly got to drink is water and my mum doesn't buy any juice every week, not sure what else i'm meant to drinl :( lol. For a long time my sleeping has just got worse and worse, i feel a bit better tonight i won't take as long to get to sleep but still... i need to go to the docs to check if there isn't any defficientcies or hormone imbalances too, problem with my docs though is you have to phone 9am in the morning as soon as they open on a Monday, apparently i'm not not aloud to get an appointment except mondays but other people are... i don't get it... so if i go i will get 2 hours sleep...

Can you mum make the appt for you? It sounds like it's def worth the hassle to get to see the dr if you're having all these other problems.

I'm actually allergic to tea and coffee so I feel you on the limitations. Maybe keep an eye on the sales at the places she shops and ask her to grab some cheap juice next time?

[Asker]

There is always cheap juice like double diluted squash, the big bottles but she still don't get it meh... my mums actually getting a ultra sound on her stomach for some reason, probably to look at her ovaries, i feel like id have to get the same thing, i don't fancy going to the docs and waiting weeks to get an appointment just to be told they won't refer me to the hospital for more check-ups though... you know docs these days... i'm not sure if you can just go straight to the hosipital, don't have a lot of money as it is so i'm not being sold pills without some tests first.

The caffeine could honestly be what's affecting your hormones. They'll probably want blood tests more than the true evil that is an ultrasound.

The only effects I feel from coffee are caffiene withdrawl when I dont drink it. I have 2-4 cups everyday and have had 10 cups or more in a day before.
Caffiene withdrawl might be causing some of your problems. I have never heard of it messing with hormones though.

[Asker]

Jesus... i'm climbing the walls just putting a tea spoon and a half in lately... lol yes it can cause hormonal problems and also defficentcies, coffee doesn't allow your body to properly cosume iron into your body so it can cause anemia or cause hormonal imbalances, but i could for other reasons, i was fine before it all started... but maybe it was coffee that did it... not sure... but ths is just one of the things that's happened lately, defficentcies or thyroid problems also causes hormonal imbalances, they are all connected, if any one of those goes out of balance so do your hormones.
