i need to make a comprehensive list of "bevs that give me the tummy ache + tired + bones hurt" disease. insofar ive got arizona green tea, apple or grape cider (any brand or type), apple juice (horrible version of this, #2 on the scale), and sprite (BY FAR WORST OFFENDER)
#eating a whole apple will also do this to me to a lesser degree unless its particularly juicy and large#i DO think it has something to do with apple juice in general like the sprite and tea are probably are flavored with apple juice#for sweetness and would fall under ''natural flavors'' but idk if sprite is one of those 0% fruit juice mfers#ive talked about this over and over but if i drink a glass of sprite it will make me completely bedridden for the rest of the day#it makes me incredibly lethargic and in whole body pain and tummy pain#i wanna bring this up to a doctor and their answer will probably be like ''? simlple. dont drink those things. 800 dollars plz''#but i do want like a concrete answer to if this is a part of anything. i think this probably falls under ''suspected apple/grape allergy''#which is made worse when the juice of the apple is drank in a concentrated form#but what perplexes me is im differently allergic to grapes and apples#like if i eat grapes they just make my mouth mildly numb and i thought this was just how grapes were supposed to be but apparently not#im honestly unconvinced that grapes ARENT supposed to do that still#but a normal apple doesnt USUALLY hurt me. a LOT of apples will give me the tummy pain and lethargy#cursed with the Adam of Eve gene unfortaunetly#but like i feel like its not a TRUE apple allergy. i feel like its something else#because it doesnt FEEL like an allergic reaction like. i dont get hives or itchy or anything i just get TIRED and in pain

“We have three days left. Then you can eat so much chocolate that you are sick.”

248. “I have nothing to read.”
“What about those books on your bedside table?”
“I’ve been inside for ten days. I’ve finished them.”

Bloodlines - 7.22
Charlie’s in Amsterdam, and I’m in my home office where the ceiling just started leaking. LET’S DO THIS.
This episode opens with a probe:
Don’t bother with the undercarriage wash, it’s a ripoff
Who’s calling? Why, a Ferengi in a Ferengi-ass outfit:
I’m a ghooooooost Ferengiiiiii
A classic look. We got high pants and a crop top. We got that big doorknocker chest adornment. We got fabric that doesn’t quite drape the way I want it to. It’s Ferengi Fashion™, and it’s so now.
The Ferengi, Bok, who tried to kill Picard at one point, says that since Picard killed HIS son, he’s going to kill Picard’s son. Picard, and everyone else, are like:
I feel like I’d remember if I had a son
Turns out there is a guy out there who could theoretically be Picard’s son. His name is Jason Vigo, he’s 23 years old, and his mom was a gal Picard had a short relationship 24 years ago. What you do say to THAT, Jean-Luc?
The face of a man who just did that math
Riker is the crew member who gets to hear the exposition about Picard’s potential son, an obvious choice since he probably has countless half-alien children scattered across every quadrant.
The face of a man who just did THAT math
The Enterprise crew head to the planet where they suspect Jason is, and he’s rock-climbing somewhere with seismic activity, so they just beam him aboard without his permission. This seems...illegal? Can they do that? That sounds like kidnapping?
I was just in the middle of a belay!!! (Note: I don’t know anything about rock climbing)
Jason is understandably pissed that he was transported to a ship by some strangers.
Where am I? What is this? Why am I wearing Merrells?
At first glance I thought Jason’s climbing jumpsuit looked a bit like the dude from the season 3 episode “The Hunted,” but further research reveals they mostly just share some quilting and some visible dirt. Jason is giving us some President Bill Pullman hair with some built-in Michelin Man padding.
Gee, my hair looks terrific
So according to this jumpsuit, the places on your body that need the most padding are your elbows (yes), your shoulders (okay), but DEFINITELY NOT your sternum (sorry). In this jumpsuit’s defense, the sternum is a very strong bone, one of the best bones for sure, but it seems rude to be like “YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN, STERNUM” when it comes to rock climbing.
I do enjoy the rubber piping outlining the different pieces of this jumpsuit. It could be a real nice rock climbing-to-fetish-club look if it wasn’t this grey that’s somehow best described as “neon grey.”
Picard is like, “I have a son, and it’s you,” and Jason is like, “am I though?” And then they realize they can just check because it’s the future and also we can do that now too.
How did his hair get even more President Bill Pullman just walking to sickbay
When Dr. Beverly Crusher does her job, she commits to it 100%, even if all she’s doing is a DNA test to see if some rando is the son of her quasi-boyfriend.
The test comes back positive - Jason is indeed Picard’s son! There is some awkward attempted father-son bonding time in which Picard shows Jason a stick he got one time:
Have you seen a stick before, my boy? This is quite a fine example of a stick
Jason is like “I think you got ripped off when you bartered for this stick,” and Picard tries to tell him why the stick is important. (It’s a ceremonial stick.) Here’s my question: did Jason have his original climbing jumpsuit cleaned, or did he just throw it in the clothes recycler and have the replicator make him a new one? If it’s the latter, couldn’t he have done something about how eerily smooth his lower torso and crotch are? It’s unsettling to look at when he’s not in his climbing harness.
Meanwhile, the ship gets a message from a different Ferengi:
Not Armin Shimerman
This guy is calling from the Ferengi homeworld to let the Enterprise crew know that Bok is unstable (duh) and bought his way out of prison, which sounds like something only the Ferengi would do until you remember how the American justice system works and realize it’s something rich white people do here all the time.
His heavily-beshouldered jacket looks like it’s made of the same material I used to sew arm covers for my couch so my cat wouldn’t scratch it up. The print would probably be called Jungle Stripe or Festive Amazon if you saw it in a catalog. The catalog would obviously be Coldwater Creek.
Jason has also changed into something your dad’s friend who just won’t stop trying to get the band back together would wear:
It’s authentic faux rattlesnake
This vest is textured to a point where I think you could use it as a washboard in your Appalachian mountain band. It’s a gorgeous shade of red, a nice deep cherry that’s actually great with Jason’s coloring. Underneath, Jason wears a shirt whose shoulder seams prove that it’s approximately three sizes too big for him, AKA Welcome To Menswear In The Nineties. I’ve been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer from the beginning recently and Xander and Oz have a complete inability to wear clothing that fits.
MORE VOLUME IN THE SLEEVES. NO, MORE
The back of the vest is a pretty terrible brown, and his pants are a dingy greybrown. This is less of an “ensemble” and more of a “I needed items to cover my shame and just told the replicator to surprise me.” But I do actually kind of love that vest.
We’ve got a fun guest star here for any fans of Caroline and the City:
The main thing I remember about this character is that she was in Cats. TOPICAL
Yes, this elfin haircut last seen in one of those giant books they have at the salon so you can decide on your hairstyle once you get there, like a MANIAC, is being sported by Amy Pietz, best known to me as Caroline’s neighbor and friend Annie. She and Constipated Shia LaBeouf have been assigned to guard Jason, and he’s being a real dick about it. But then, he gets the shakes!
I asked for fresh-squeezed and they gave me FROM CONCENTRATE? What kind of ship are you running here, DAD
It’s unclear what’s wrong with him, but it soon gets worse when he has a full seizure in his quarters:
It looks like he drank some orange juice from concentrate. This could be very bad
It turns out Jason is suffering from Forrester-Trent Syndrome, which is a rare neurological disease invented by the TNG writers. Crusher also decides to run a microcellular scan, which I’m only mentioning now because it’s important later. Jason goes to work his feelings out the only way he knows how: rock climbing.
Get lost!! You’ll never be my dad!!!!
If you think I won’t climb this cliff to prove I want to father you...
...then you know NOTHING of Jean-Luc Picard
Picard and Jason have a real nice heart-to-heart on this rock face while Jason wears stirrup pants. Then Crusher calls with some news. Before WE get to hear that news, though, Jason gets kidnapped by Bok:
Why do people just keep transporting me without my consent
Never transport someone unless they’re into it.
So now Bok has Jason, who’s back in his collarless vest:
Do you think you could make me a vest like that
However, it turns out that Jason isn’t Picard’s son after all! Bok RESEQUENCED JASON’S DNA, which a) WHAT and b) is what gave him the neurological disorder that made him have the seizures before. What a dick, right? The other Ferengi helping Bok realize they’ve been lied to and give Jason back to the Enterprise.
Jason decides to get his life together on his original planet, so he changes into his best look of the episode:
Category is: Disco Lumberjack
He’s giving me quilted silver. He’s giving me a rhombus belt. He’s giving me a periwinkle/green apple gingham. This is your look, Jason!! You found it!!
Tell me your blowdry secrets, Jason
Does the vest have a zipper or any fasteners at all? No. Does it matter? I don’t know the climate on Jason’s planet, so I can’t answer that. I’d certainly want a zipper on a vest that quilted. Even though this experience gave him a rare neurological disorder and jerked him around emotionally, he’s better for it, I guess?? And Picard gives him that stick from before as a memento:
DO YOU LIKE IT JASON
You know what? I do

Here's What Happened When a Coffee Addict Gave It Up for a Week
I'm a woman in her 20s with a full-time job, romantic relationship, and decent social life-and finding the energy to go to the office and spend quality time with my boyfriend and friends has been no easy feat. Add in a committed gym regimen and a love of binge watching Netflix, and it seems nearly impossible to stay awake through it all without caffeine.
Currently, I drink between 2 and 3 cups of coffee every day and honestly I cannot imagine my life without it. Coffee is ingrained in my morning routine, and it's helped me get through more midday slumps than I can count.
RELATED: Big Perks: Coffee's Health Benefits
Still, I've been in situations where I've downed too many cups of joe and turned into a jittery mess. And recently, I suspect my afternoon coffee fix has made it harder for me to fall asleep at night. It made me wonder: What would happen if I eliminated not just coffee, but all caffeine for five days straight? I was fearful of the withdrawal symptoms I'd heard about like headaches and anxiety, but decided it was worth a try for my overall health (not to mention my wallet).
The rules: I would steer clear of any and all caffeine including tea, chocolate, and soda for five days and see how I fared. (Luckily, I'm not a chocoholic, so I wasn't worried about that; coffee is much more ingrained in my daily life than chocolate.) This way, I would be able to reap the true benefits of a no-caffeine lifestyle.
Day one: craving a warm cup
When I arrived at my office on Monday, I already felt out of sorts without my usual morning coffee. And like most offices, the temperature in mine feels sub-zero; all I wanted was a hot mug of coffee to hold on to and sip leisurely. Instead, I made myself a cup of chamomile tea, which is naturally caffeine-free. It helped me stop shivering, but I still felt off.
RELATED: Is Cold Brew as Healthy as Regular Coffee?
“Eating a piece of fruit can perk you up with its natural sugars,” Frances Largeman-Roth, RDN, a nutrition expert and author of Eating in Color, told me. So to compensate for my lack of joe, I tried eating an apple and drinking a tall glass of water and orange juice.
To my surprise the fruit worked, and in about 20 minutes I felt awake enough to concentrate on my work. For the rest of the day, I didn't feel overly tired or experience headaches or other typical caffeine withdrawal side effects. Maybe I wasn't as addicted as I thought I was.
In fact, Largeman-Roth says people who drink more than 400 mg of caffeine a day (the equivalent of five 8-ounce cups of coffee) are more likely to experience withdrawal symptoms like headaches and irritability. Luckily, I didn't normally drink that much caffeine, so I figured I was in the clear.
Day two: crabby from caffeine withdrawal
Why is everyone walking so slowly? Why is that guy talking so loudly? Why is New York filled with so many weird people? That was the extent of my Tuesday morning mindset. Everyone and anyone was getting on my nerves, even when it came to the little annoyances I could typically brush off. What made matters worse was the fact I couldn't boost my mood with a morning caffeine fix. Sigh.
RELATED: 9 Surprising Ways Caffeine Affects Your Health
Since Largeman-Roth mentioned irritability and fatigue as common symptoms of caffeine withdrawal, I knew that what I was experiencing was normal. “Drinking lots of water and getting regular sleep will help, but some people do just have to struggle through for a bit,” she noted. I drank a couple of large glasses of water and hoped for the best.
Later in the day, I became extremely lethargic, but knew I had to rough it out for a 7:30 p.m. boxing class with friends. So I did the only thing a smart caffeine-abstaining person can do: Book an hour-long nap in a nap pod.
If there's one thing in this world I love more than coffee, it's naps. So before going caffeine-free, I did my research and founds a yoga studio near my office with nap “pods.” Basically, you can pay to nap in a private room with a bed, twinkly lights, and noise-canceling headphones.
I took my tired self to the yoga studio for naptime and, let me tell you, it was amazing. I passed out for 40 minutes and when I woke up, I felt like a new person. Afterward, I headed to my boxing workout with an extra burst of much-needed energy, no caffeine needed.
Day three: exhaustion sets in
I woke up easier than usual on Day Three and got right to work; it was snowing outside, and I therefore didn't have to go into the office. An hour into my work-at-home day, I wanted my morning caffeine boost so badly. Still, I pushed through.
RELATED: 12 Surprising Sources of Caffeine
One hour later, I woke up. That's right, folks: I fell asleep. At my own computer. I'm not sure if it was working from my couch or the lack of coffee pulsing through my veins, or a mixture of the two, but I couldn't believe I just conked out like that. But truth be told, my nap helped me get through the remainder of the day with ease and energy.
Day four: sleeping better
Day Four, otherwise known as Bagel Thursday in my office, was a tough one. I couldn't drink the free cold brew in the kitchen, so I drowned my sorrows in more chamomile tea. Somehow, I made it through another day without the extra caffeine burst, but by the time I got home, I was ready to fall asleep. I tucked myself in at 9:30 p.m. and drifted off more easily than I had in a long time.
Day five: missing the coffee ritual
By Day Five, I actually craved the taste of coffee and realized that more than the energy boost it provided, I missed the ritual of my morning cup. I didn't feel less energetic or more irritable or have a raging caffeine withdrawal headache; rather, I just wanted to sip of the good stuff because it tasted good.
As for chocolate, I did crave a little, probably because I wasn't getting any of that rich flavor that I usually would from my coffee. It was more about the flavor than the caffeine when it came to chocolate.
After tucking myself into bed for the night, I was more than excited for the next day-when my coffee ban was over and I could bring back caffeine into my routine.
RELATED: 20 Reasons Your Stomach Hurts
Is no caffeine the way to go?
My week with caffeine taught me more about myself: I like a consistent morning routine, and I like it to include a cup or two of coffee. But more importantly, my lack of caffeine showed me how dependent I'd become on the stuff for energy. Rather than making sure I get eight hours of sleep or drink enough water, I was using coffee and tea to boost my energy levels.
This challenge has made me rethink my afternoon cup. Now, instead of heading to the work coffee machine or shelling out $5 for cold brew at 3 p.m., I take a lap around the office and chug a glass of water. I'm hoping my new habits will make my nightly sleep routine more solid, which so far, it has been.
But coffee fans, have no fear: I haven't given up on the stuff just yet. In fact, I'm drinking a steaming hot mug of it as I type this.
