Progress on May debt repayment

May 27th, 2009 at 05:34 pm

One of AS's student loans hit, with $118 going to principal. $1385 down, just $15 to go. So close! Another AS student loan should hit by Friday and bring us over the top.

I'm on the second day of my mini-cleanse; I'm trying to follow a high-fiber, low-spice, no-processed-foods, no citrus or tomato (yikes!), no-caffeine diet for a week and a half, hoping this will help expedite healing of my chronic condition. Yesterday I had a headache that I attributed to caffeine withdrawal. Last night and today I have more of an all-over body ache (including my head). Is this caffeine withdrawal or something else? I guess I'll know tomorrow depending on whether it goes away or gets worse. I feel rather depressed too, but I'm hoping that's just a result of feeling so weak and achy all over.

Anyway, having friends over tonight, so hopefully that will cheer me up!

    CJ,
    Last year I tried to get off the caffeine kick cold turkey and I honestly thought I had a brain tumor. The headaches and the body aches were terrible. I hope you feel better soon! By the way, congrats on your debt repayment.

    CJ, when i kicked caffeine cold turkey it was pretty bad. i was depressed, lethargic, achy, sad, sleepy, confused, unmotivated, and my brain was fuzzy for a few days. caffeine is wicked!

    Hee hee, thanks guys! You really described how I was feeling yesterday to a T. I feel measurably better this morning, so it must have been caffeine withdrawal! It's weird because I'm a longtime coffee lover and have gone off the stuff for periods of time before, but I never had a reaction this bad. I guess I was taking in more than usual recently.
