Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Welcome . We have a couple other 's as well, so you might want to use a last initial or nickname to distinguish yourself or even your state. It seems that FM is rooted in problems with our nervous systems. Since caffeine is a stimulant, this would exacerbate the problem. I allow myself one diet soda a day. Now this potentially contains 3 irritants, the caffeine, the nutrasweet, and the carbonation, but as I keep it at one, I seem to be able to handle it. When I used to work full time, I drank usually 3 diet sodas a day, sometimes four. Good luck with going back to work. It was after a medical leave that I took 10 years ago, when I seemed to completely break down and was unable to return to the work force. Keep us posted on how you are doing. Take care.
