had some super-bad iced coffee today. too much caffeine? short health journal.
Hi angel friends, i wish this was a normal spirit soaring journal. i'm on our couch here, Holly next to me, she made me some gatorade, and i have water, and also made 2 slices of toast. this morning, Alyssa brought me an iced coffee from mcdonalds. i like the coffee, with no sugar, only vanilla syrup, and i add half and half cream. i made the coffee up this morning to enjoy it, i noticed it was quite strong, i added in 3 vanilla creamers as they forgot to add vanilla syrup. the coffee made me feel hyped up, jittery, and sore/achey. i have been sitting back more here on our couch , i felt chilly cold. my hands. i put the space heater on our table here. i didn't eat lunch ,my stomach felt overwhelmed by the caffeine. around 3:20pm, i layed down for a little while, i don't remember falling asleep. i tried to get up, felt woozy. i may have experienced syncope while laying down. Holly said she noticed i just fell asleep. i went out to get fresh air, my mom called Lisa, and Lisa said, she had the same iced coffee, and feels the same way today. we think the coffee was double brewed. i came downstairs, carefully, and Holly gave me the oximeter, i checked my heart-rate, it was 225, oh my. Holly talked me through some brewing, breathing in through my nose, holding my breathe 2 seconds, and breathing out through my mouth, and to think of peaceful things. my heart-rate went down to 110, which is much better, my oxygen is good at 98%. i feel like i could just lay down, and sleep, but Lisa said, eat some toast, and Holly me me a gatorade. i've got my phone, and can text my mom. she hasn't been well, and had to get re-hydration treatment. this coffee today really walloped Lisa and i. we love coffee, but this is wild, how it made Lisa and i feel. i did writing this morning too, and i don't want that writing to just stay in my wordpad, i want to share it, i wrote this before breakfast and would like to share it. i'm not drinking any coffee from mcdonalds anymore, Lisa's gonna report the bad coffee. i love coffee, and can drink a 32 oz coffee in one day, but i also drink water, sometimes sprite. tea too. i don't think either Lisa, or i will need to go to the hospital. Lisa is home at her place, and i'm downstairs. i'm gonna post an update in my journal comments this evening. i'm nibbling some toast, and sipping water, and gatorade :) i'm gonna be ok, Tiger is here with Holly and i too, and can text my mom instead of having to go upstairs. Lisa and i gonna be ok. we love you all, our dear angel friends <3 you're always in our hearts and thoughts <3
here is my writing pre-breakfast about 7:30am.

Hi Chris Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Hope you feel better this evening and going forward. I've never heard of double brewed coffee but I suppose its possible. Make sure you eat and drink well to absorb the caffine in your body. Hope your mom is feeling better soon too as well as Lisa. Hope you can enjoy a bit of the basketball game tonight. Thanks for all my nice hugs today Feel better soon hugs-Stephanie
Thank you angel Stephanie :) Lisa's been in contact with my mom, she's a bit better. i've been checking my heart rate,and oxygen levels, it was going from 196 heart rate to sudden drop to about 120, and eventually down to 110. i just checked again, it began at 104,which is a relief. to help me calm, and relax,earlier Holly and i looked at halloween decorations,collectibles (it relaxes me), and also drank almost 2 bottles of water,ad half bottle of gatorade. my fingers got cold earlier,was very worried,and scared. Jenn called my mom, she mentioned it happened to her, from drinking dunkins coffee before. i'm slight better, am resting, and had a few bites of toast, and a saltine cracker. Alyssa saying, it may have been pure expresso in the coffee, that affected Lisa and i.
i'm home,and on our couch. i feel weak,sore,and tired. gonna rest good tonight,and will get some sleep, i hope Lisa, and i feel much better,b tomorrow. i'm gonna take a breakfast from coffee/caffeine. i've got our blanket here, it's helping me keep warm.
i'm hanging in there,and gonna be ok :) i'm going to visit my journal, and hugbook the mornings. i'm gonna try to stay up to watch a little of the game,and continuing to check my heart rate. love you all our dear angel friends <3
Oh goodness, that sounds awful!! Please keep us updated. Praying for you and Lisa. Sounds like something bad happened for sure:(
Hi Sweet Chris, I'm so sorry you got sick from drinking the coffee. I hope & pray u feel better soon. I hope u & Holly have a nice evening & stay warm & u feel better. I'm glad Holly & your mom were there for you. I'm sorry Lisa got sick from the coffee also & I'm sorry your mom isn't feeling well. I hope they feel better too. Hugs & love FF
I'm very sorry you had bad coffee. I had iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts several years ago, when I was working at another HD. There was a DD next door and I would go there for lunch. I decided to get some iced coffee and not long after I had that I got jittery and my heart rate started going up. At first I couldn't figure out what was going on, then I thought about the iced coffee. I stopped having iced coffee. The only coffee drinks I have are either Starbuck's frappuccino or Mc D frappe. they are basically watered down coffee drinks. Otherwise I drink water, Orange Juice, iced teas and hot tea and hot chocolate OR decaf coffee.
I’m sorry that you think there was too much caffeine in the coffee and it made you sick, hopefully you’re feeling much better today, maybe you should lay off the iced coffee for a while or maybe get decaf next time.
I’m sure you and Holly enjoyed watching your UConn Huskies win their game, congrats to them.
Hopefully you’re feeling better today and can get outside for some fresh air, it could be good for you. Take care and have a good day today, hugs Jeannie
I am so sorry your not feeling well. I hope your better today! Wow, that is quite a scare. Pls provide us with updates if you can. I"m glad Lisa is reporting to McDs. She works there I believe? Gentle Hugs....
