I am sure your demotologist will be able to find something else for your skin.
Important thing is no surgery involved.

Hope the meds get rid of the
pain for you soon. How about decaf? Or 1/2 coffee 1/2 decaf then
smaller amouts of real coffee etc until all decaf. Otherwise headaches
are sure to happen, that caffine withdrawl is a real pain in the butt.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope the gall bladde is ok.
