It affects my epilepsy. i don't know what the difference is now because it's been so long since I've drunk caffeinated drinks. I can't even drink pop with caffeine in, and as I'm completely tee total, it's either water or water for me!<br /><br />I was thinking about you the other day when watching a program about Cornwall; I can't remember what it was but it was on just a few nights ago. It could have been Countryfile. Oh dear, my memory is getting really bad!<br /><br />CJ xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-39300498101538306222012-11-02T09:54:23.580+00:002012-11-02T09:54:23.580+00:00Melissa - I would have been climbing the walls!Melissa - I would have been climbing the walls!Flowerpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102679179201725732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-21200024522234692242012-11-02T09:52:05.328+00:002012-11-02T09:52:05.328+00:00Colette - no, not with hindsight!

Since I contracted asthma drinking alcohol usually makes me feel pretty ill. My sinus membranes swell and I get an awful banged up nose and a headache. It makes me feel as if I have hayfever and I usually end up having to take antihistamin tablets to combat the effects. I have also decided a few years ago that a glass of wine is not worth all my health troubles it gives me. So, I always make sure to avoid all alcohol now, even at parties. My health comes first, and I have now gotten used to being a tea total. After a few years of going without alcohol it just doesn`t even taste nice anymore. So, why should I have it at all? <br />Look after yourself, as life is far too short to mess with your wellbeing.<br />Take care!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114653674812242486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-83774920514993218852012-10-31T17:51:53.190+00:002012-10-31T17:51:53.190+00:00Wow!

I gave up the diet but stayed on the decaf.

About 6 weeks ago, out of tea bags one morning, I thought "one coffee won't hurt, will it?" (I keep it in the house for guests.)<br /><br />OH MY GOD. Seriously, I was flying, like you said, and stupidly I am now having one coffee every day, in the morning. But since that first cup, I haven't been sleeping properly and my anxiety has increased. It's only having read this that I've thought "Oh. It's the bloody coffee, isn't it?" <br /><br />Thanks for that...I now know what to do. xElaine Denninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640829930815645105noreply@blogger.com
