Oh dear, I need a mountain dew

[knicknack]

I woke up feeling icky from allergies this morning. When this happens, I always have to have caffeine to make them better - and so now I'm craving mountain dew like a mad fiend. I guess I could get a diet but that just isn't sounding good. ;-)

HELP!!!

Remind me why having a mountain dew would be a bad thing?

Mountain Dew is green like liquid snotties...there has THAT helped you? Seriously now, the DaVinci lemon lime sugar free syrup mixed with sparkling carbonated water is just like Mountain Dew!

Re: Oh dear, I need a mountain dew

When I was a kid we called Mt.Dew Cougar Pi** Think of the color...lol. And if you have one you're not going to be dealing with allergies anymore but a horrendous head ache because of the sugar. It's sooooo not worth it. Drink some water and take an allergy pill of some kind. Sudafed works well for me.

Re: Oh dear, I need a mountain dew

I guess this would be kind of obvious..... but......

Did you give up coffee with induction? I know Dr A suggest we give up caffeine but I am still having 2 cups of coffee in the morning. If it is caffeine you need,(my son has asthma and it was once mentioned that caffeine would help) you could just have a cup.

If you have given up caffeine then dont go back on it or you could have more withdrawal later when you try to come off it again, do as bugaboo said and take an antihistamine and hopefully you will be feeling better.

Mountain Dew. I never got a taste for it. My son loves it though.

Re: Oh dear, I need a mountain dew

Nope, I didn't go off coffee. I don't even drink soda that often. It's just this allergy thing - it's my way of getting rid of the eyeball stinging and brain fuzz. It really does work!

But, I've made it this far. I may go get a diet later, we'll see. Thanks for convincing me not to!!!

Nothing! You're just human it's okie dokie! You've made it through the day though so you've done excellently! Good for you! If you have one now won't the caffeine keep you awake? I hate allergies...I have them pretty bad myself so I feel for you.

Re: Oh dear, I need a mountain dew

My eyes are better but my head fuzz is still going. I'd go for a walk, but that's not allowed for my leg at the moment.

sheeesh, i'm just a walking ball of problems today!

I'm feeling almost like I'm back to having the induction flu, except that the only thing I want is mountain dew. ;-) Like you could wave a snickers bar in front of my face and that wouldn't satisfy me. what I want is a nice, cool, refreshing dew. *mmm*

Maybe I should go buy some fizzy water and have that instead. They don't sell mtn dew at wholefoods anyway. ;-P

Re: Oh dear, I need a mountain dew

I dont think some fizzy water would hurt you at all and just may do the trick and get your mind off that snotty drink that you have been thinking about all day long. Annnd it would count towards your water total for the day! Another plus!

Sorry about the allergy thing. Im not sure there is anything worse this time of year than allergies. The weather is too nice to feel that bad.

Re: Oh dear, I need a mountain dew

Well, every now and then I have one of those days when I feel "off". And a STarbucks grande raspberry mocha does the trick. Except I can't have one.......

Believe it or not, exercising helps. I know you took a walk, that's good. So is drinking enough water until you float to the bathroom. So is taking a nap.

I recall that last time around, I had about a week-long period, maybe the 5th or 6th week, where I literally felt like the bone marrow had drained out of my body. Exhausted, to the bone. I upped my fat, and it eventually went away.......but I dread it coming back. Felt like mono or something.

Ok, last resort? If it's still like this tomorrow, I find that Alleve Sinus makes me feel much better.....it's got something in it that makes me actually happy (so I never take it unless I'm having allergy probs)
