I’m actually going through Caffeine withdrawal right now. I quit drinking soda about a week and a half ago, it is terrible. I am still going to school and after school each day I am thoroughly tired. I have headaches and an extreme sore throat. Medication works until it wears off and then i am back with the same symptoms. But i refuse to give in.

I’m so happy to find out that I’m not the only one experiencing these crazy coffee withdrawal pains!!! I stopped drinking coffee 6 months ago and went through 10 days of hell, sore throat, aching neck, back, hips, legs, waking up in pain every hour through the night. Then stupidly I forgot all about it and thought I could drink a cup or two for Christmas. I was immediately hooked and had 3-4 cups a day for about 10 days, and then I quit again, 4 days ago. Guess what, I’m now going through the exact same thing, how could I be so stupid! And nobody believes me, they think I’m totally crazy when I explain about the coffee withdrawal. At least this time I know it will pass in a couple of days …

stopped drinking a french press full of coffee cold turkey Monday. it’s Friday morning. the hip pain began at the end of day two. my friend saw me and said “looks like you’ve been hit by a car!” I’m a Pilates teacher and very flexible. just bending over a little bit has been terribly painful. my friend the physician suggested one 200mg. ibuprofen which works quickly to alleviate the sharp hip and pelvis pain, but after eating only a salad, my stomach was wrecked. placed a heating pad under my pelvis in bed last night and that worked from 10 – 1am when I woke up in sharp hip pain. got up, ate a piece of banana bread (heavy enough to protect my stomach) so I could take 200mg. ibuprofen which kicked in an hour later & got back to sleep. I’m praying this pain subsides soon. day 5…..

Just saw a re-run of this episode, hence the year long comment. LOL

I am very much a fan of Mr. Bourdain and as a local, I very much enjoyed this episode. You have to realize he is on the Travel Channel, and it’s nation-wide television. The lacking particulars of this show – according to you folks – can probably be attributed to the logistics of television as well as being preoccupied with some TV politics.

His trip is largely influenced by his fixers, who probably did not have ample time to prepare. And as much as I agree with yall that some of the more salient historical and native Hawaiian narratives were not presented, we have to admit that this is what many viewers from all over the world are turned on by when it comes to Hawaii. I read somewhere that TV and movies are the crossroads of art and commerce; this is as true here as anything else. Factor in the logistics and endless fact-checking and the show starts to look pretty damn good.

I’m quite forgiving; it’s good TV and I give the team credit where it’s due. They might have done a “perfect” show according to others if this was the only destination he visited. Buying a $3000 Aloha shirt is so Hollywood, but then again he went to a bbq in Kalihi! I know kama’aina haoles that have not been there ever! This episode, when compared to others shows that feature Hawaii, is totally awesome.

Thank goodness for the internet!

I quit coffee 3 weeks ago and have felt like hell. I didn’t realize it was the coffee withdrawal at first. I thought it was related to my work outs or something really bad. My back was aching, my legs were aching and I had that restless leg thing happening at night..so weird! Today I decided to test my theory and had one cup of coffee in the morning. Iv’e been feeling great all day! No aches for the first time in 3 weeks! That’s when I got online and searched for “coffee withdrawal body aches”. This was an unexpected outcome to my coffee stoppage. I expected tiredness and headaches–neither of which I really got at all!
