I've noticed that when im feeling dizzy or just really off my game that a cup of coffee helps take the edge off and makes me feel better. Does anyone know why that is?
Hi Rachel! I already answered once, but then I really didn’t answer your question, just saying it works for me! But I got to thinking, why does it help? So I researched it (I’m retired, lots of time!). Turns out the caffeine in coffee actually helps fine and gross motor skills, which is why you’d feel less dizzy and be able to control your body better. It also increases cognitive function, which would be helpful in being mindful of your body and it’s actual functioning. I say, if it helps you, and doesn’t cause you seizing, forget what anyone says to you otherwise! The best thing I’ve learned about epilepsy is to do what works best for YOU! ❤️
I love Coffee... Tim Hortons, Gevalia, Starbucks, Seattles Best, Cafe Bustelo, Dunkin Have Mercy! PLEASE TAKE ANYTHING BUT MY COFFEE!!!!! 🤣
I have no problem drinking coffee and i rather enjoy it (I'd hope so, 'cause I have 7 different ways of making it). I've never given myself a limit, but I'm usually satisfied at around 2 mugs per day or so.
Coffee dont bother me, i drink about 5 cups every morning, then the rest of the day im drinking coke, or else i get too nervous if i go without it. it might be because i used too be an alcoholic back in the late 80s until 1998 so after i quit alcohol i went to drinking coke.
Hi Rachel, about that cut of coffee, well I can't give you the chemical reactions but if I wake up at 5am with a huge migraine which could lead to a seizure, I drink coffee which has proven to relieve migraine pain. As of late I have tried enery drinks,which also contains large amounts of niacin, B 12, B6. All of this helps. At least it helps me! Please share how it helps you.
