Hi Loopyladye....Do you not find drinking diet drinks flares your fibro?? I don't consume anything with sweeteners in or food added with aspartame, it can be a trigger to flare ups and really is not good. It might be worth weaning yourself off to see if you improve?? This is talking from experience. good luck xx

I avoid caffeine most of the time. A cup of tea first thing in the morning is about it - then redbush tea for the rest of the day. However, there are times when only a Pro Plus Pill will do. But I don't make a habit of it and I can't remember the last time I took one. The temporary alertness is inevitably followed by a crash and I have to brace myself for that because I know it's coming.

I have to avoid caffiene as much as I can as I have high blood pressure !!
