I've just started to feel unwell but at least I've got the gum on mend

[Hidden in reply to Bigguy]

Did you say you had only just started taking the antibiotics because they take a few days before they get in to your system & start working , so if you havnt been on them long it might be your mind telling you that you feel unwell

I no because I have this med fear this is how it is for me , the moment I take something thinking I feel side effects , but then when I think about it I no it cant be possible

Remember as well the antibiotics are only for so many days & then you dont have to take them anymore ,that helps me & I just count them down till they have all gone

You can do this & like I said its better than an infected gum

I drink both tea and coffee the occasional beer to. Drink coffee most mornings as I'm usually half asleep thanks to my dodgy sleeping pattern, I know we are meant to avoid all these things when suffering from anxiety and depression.

I drink decaf tea, I hate coffee, used to drink alcohol a bit. Stopped drinking about May time when the I changed my tablets it says alcohol can make the side effects worse. I decided not to risk it. I do eat chocolate and I do drink Hot Chocolate! Xx

Hey Bigguy, Must put my hand up to all of these "vices". Yes, I drink all four in varying quantities in any given week.

1) Tea 4-5 cups per day

2) Coffee 4 -5 cups per week

3) Beer 5 pints a week, mainly at weekends

4) Wine occasionally,1-2 glasses per month

Can't say I feel any worse off for it. Can't say I feel better if I abstain either LOL

regards,

Mallet-Head

[Hidden in reply to mallet-head]

Hope you are keeping well

Hi Whywhy, I hope it is not too much of a shock to Bigguy, sorry mate!! I was just trying to be honest and (hopefully) helpful. Currently I feel great. For the most part I have everything under control. I discovered "Mindfulness Meditation" last year, and this really helps me keep things in balance and in perspective,

Hope you are keeping well and enjoying the new style forum

regards, Mallet-head xxx

mallet-head

That sounds very positive , I thought I hadnt seen you on here since the move , maybe you have been on & I have missed you

I am not to bad Thank you & I still would prefer the old forum if I am been honest , but I am sure & hope eventually I get used to this new one

Take Care

[mallet-head in reply to Hidden]

Whywhy, regarding my presence on the new site, I have responded to the odd question on the new forum, where I believe my personal experiences might help, but I have fortunately not felt the need to elicit help and support from forum members for some time (for which I am thankful) . It is however very re-assuring to know that support is there should I need to tap into it!! I don't go onto the forum on a regular basis, but rely on email notifications of postings and my responses.

best regards, Mallet-head

I love a cuppa it starts my day

Rarely drink coffee. Once in a blue moon

I have the odd drink at parties or weddings but no big drinker.

Love coca cola and drink this daily (shame on me)

Regards

Love Seyi xxx

I drink them all sorry

[thomson1898]

All of them I'm afraid lol.

Even my daughter knows not to ask me anything until I've had my 2nd cup of coffee on a morning

[Bigguy]

Well I've taken the advise and do not drink any of the abovei wonder if I've gone overboard on this a a result this I do like the odd beer but I will not risk the caffine for a while but interesting thanks all

[Hidden in reply to Bigguy]

I think Stu certain things are not suppose to be good for us , but I do think as well as long as we have them in moderation ,its OK , its when we go over the top

Heard the saying

Sometimes a little bit of what you fancy does you good

[thomson1898 in reply to Bigguy]

Hi Stuart, I'm with whywhy on this. I think if you enjoy the occasional beer then why not? All things in moderation is a phrase I have drummed into my daughter lol

[knowles8586 in reply to Bigguy]

I drink lots of wine oops! the odd coffee, and diet coke gives me headaches Awaiting medication for MAV but to be honest I want to give all my meds up and get addicted to exercise I wish lol

[music]

looking at the replys on drink, i must be really bad on my health has i drink 3 to 4 pints a night 3 times a week and mostly weekends and have been doing this for years.

so looking at the replys i can see i must cut it right down but i do like a beer and i have stooped smoking

Start my day with a mug of hot water and lemon juice with a spoon full of honey.

During the night I drink soda water.

Drink tea - weak and black ... make a pot at work in the morning and it lasts me the day - topping it up with hot water as required ... so guess it is more tea flavoured water than tea ...

Drink coffee - laced with sugar and cream ... and occasionally a drop of scotch (but not when I'm feeling down) - a treat when I get home.

Finish my day with a peppermint tea (weak again)

Drink beer occasionally ... bitter

Drink wine occasionally ... preference for a sparkling wine

Very occasionally have a glass of sherry or malt whisky.

I don't drink alcohol if I am feeling down - guess that is my one rule.

Also like the occasional orange juice. Not that keen on lemonade or tonic water though - find them too sweet these days.

I have a coffee in the morning the rest of the day I drink herbal teas. I have the odd glass of red wine in the evening.
