Caffeine Sensitivity

[MaryPoppins]

I've had two double shot coffees so far today which is unusual for me but still feel like death.

Couldn't function without my Lavazza Rosso in the morning

Typically get through 10 cups a day but have been known to drink more.

Usually one at home before leaving for work, one every 90 mins or so in the office plus a bottle of caffeinated cola for lunch, three or four more at home in the evening.

Been going like this for years so I guess I've built up some tolerance.

I went to the doctor about a year ago with palpatations etc, thought it was a warning sign

She asked how many cups i had a day, it was only about 3 or 4. she said i should try and cut back and see if that helped.

Now, I'd found some nice instant coffee, it was columbian and I like my coffee strong, so i'd been self medicating with the coffee in the cup (pouring it straight from the jar)
when i measured out what I'd been drinking in a normal dosage, it equated to 13-16 cups of coffee a day!

I now use a spoon!

weirdly though i can drink coffee right up till bed time and have no issues sleeping.

I have to drink coffee (filter) in the morning if I want any sleep that night.

No, but if I have one after about 9pm I spend all night getting up for a pee.

I used to eat chocolate covered coffee beans from starbucks. (tons of 'em)

Yum.

I have about 10 coffees a day doesn't seem to have any effect.

I do have to have at least a bottle of wine a night to get to sleep, but I don't think the two things are connected.

Are you sure it was chocolate ?
