    I have 20 or more cups of very strong coffee a day now and go uptown to Beanies for two or three Double shot lattes. If I don't have coffee at night before I go to bed I can not go to sleep. When I was 36 years old I started to take the caffeine capsules during the races. I would take 3 capsules of caffeine with every food break during a race. I used to get very angry at the boat attendants and once tried to tip the row boat over. After the races I would not sleep for hours. When in bed after a race my body would jerk and bounce in spastic moves. I was at the doctor on Friday and he gave me the results of a bunch of tests, re kidneys heart and the works. He tested my BP and it was 123/70, he said I was in good shape. I do have sugar D and the long term reading was 6.5. He told me come back in 6 months and do the tests again.
