Cant handle all this

Hi guys- so I came off caffeine yesterday and I feel like I've been run over by a bus- literally!! I feel so weak I think the teas were keeping me going- I'm too scared to eat incase I get an allergic reaction and I don't know what to do- please help

Are you allergic to anything? Might be better to decrease caffeine more slowly as to give your system more time to adjust instead of going cold turkey. Alankay

Im allergic to some medications and kiwi fruit- but my doc doesn't know if the itching and redness ive had is allergy or anxiety. I've cut out virtually everything and only eat 1 meal a day at a push- I woke up yesterday with no itching and started itching after I I had my tea and since I've stopped even though I feel like death I've had no itching- I've been without caffeine for nearly 2 days now I might as well carry on now don't you think?

> I've cut out virtually everything and only eat 1 meal a day at a push

If one meal is a push, then are you saying you normally eat 0 (zero) meals? lol
(Carry on like this and I think malnutrition will become far more important than your itchy scratchies!)

If no caffeine means no itchies then carry on!
You'll soon get used to it.

Thankyou dazza- your comments always make me smile!! Yes I try and get away with not eating At all but my husbands noticed and now force feeds me- it's very distressing but I know if I don't sort it out it'll lead to malnutrition .....and still no itching!!!
