" Becky, it isn't caffeine, but caffeine withdrawal, that supposedly is

the source of the headaches. You may want to wean yourself from caffeine

for another few weeks and give the experiment another try? "

I don't have headaches now. I didn't have headaches during the two or

three weeks (several years ago) I was off both coffee and Diet Cokes. I

had headaches on the days when I drank up to three Diet Cokes in a day.

I was off coffee (and other caffeine) for three weeks this past December

when I had a bladder infection because I'd heard caffeine was bad when a

person had bladder infections. I didn't get headaches then. (But that's

when I learned that bladder infections were a symptom of diabetes, and

darned if it turn out to be true.)
