I miss red wine! I became intolerant to it when I got worse! I still have the odd drink, but I suffer baaaaddddddd!

Me too !!! I can't handle anything anymore actually . As I've got older , and the medication got stronger, I really can't take the after effects anymore, and as we all know, they are plenty...hic hic. When I was in my 20's before this body started playing up, I didn't care, I had a great social life, disco's every fri and sat nights [showing me age now ..disco's! ] and the hangover was bearable ??? I've become a boring old fart now !! At 51, it seems a lifetime ago that I boogied on down with my old friends. But glad the fashion of puffball dresses, and the new romantic look are safely over and done with, ha ha xx

I miss my glass of red too 🍷 ...but definitely become less tolerant to alcohol and it can impact on my symptoms too. I wonder if this has any relation to possible Candida, Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth or just something that happens in those with Fibro in general?!

I've always thought I have Candida issue. It is so difficult to sort out. The diet etc. Then I snack on bad stuff to help with fatigue. You can't win! I can drink rum and other things, but still get hangovers. But the moment I drink a glass of red, I'm immediately sluggish!

I take H&B Coconut Oil and Yeast Raiders when I can afford it plus also L-lysine as it helps with skin issues. The Yeast Raiders are good but most expensive out of the 3 of them at £25 monthly which isn't always easy to afford. So, often we have to forgo something that helps due to cost ! Arhhhh so annoying...... :X If you see that infamous magic money tree, can you give it a shake for me?!? Cheers :)

Ask Teresa May. She seems to have a magic money tree 🤣

I know. I buy CBD oil and other supplements and alternative therapies to help me. Can't put a price on some comfort eh xx

I'm going to be trying the wine diet this evening or maybe not. I do fancy some and then again I don't, I'll just have to wait and see if the wine fairy comes shopping with me tonight. :)

It's from Tesco. They do a nice red as well. It's not at all vinegary
