So we are now up to 9 pages of comments about coffee. Here is my summary. People who have heart problems are told by their doctors to not drink it. People who have idiopathic neuropathy seem to do worse after drinking coffee. People like bayhorse and me who have neuropathy-like symptoms caused by stenosis or trauma in the lower spine seem to benefit from coffee. (Our systems are not actually neuropathy but symptoms are the same. It is RADICULOPATHY.)
