Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I would be very careful of energy drinks, especially since we all have medications and other medical issues to deal with. Many of these drinks contain very high concentrations of caffeine, ma huang, and even ephedra, all of which can be very dangerous and can make the symptoms of FM even worse (caffeine, in particular). Not to mention lots of articial sweeteners, colors, additives and preservatives that many of us are already extra-sensitive to. I think we would be better off just trying to eat better and get vitamins and minerals, etc. from lots of fresh fruits and veggies. That's easier said that done sometimes, and I'm not good about it either, but I do know that I have really felt like poop warmed over on the few occasions when I've tried these energy drinks. I can't even drink soft drinks any more because of all the preservatives and articial stuff in them. They drag me farther down instead of being a " pick-me-up " ! Please contact me if you would like to contribute to my book. fibrobook@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
