Re: Adrenal book- soda- my confession. Am I really bad?

[Guest guest]

Well I drink a POT of coffee a day, and about 2 -16 OZ glasses of milk. No

water, no soda. No juice. Once in a while I have a hot cocoa. You aren't as bad

as me. LOL

If your situation was mine, I'd make sure the coffee is decaf and

organic (the latter to avoid the pesticides---coffee is high in

them). And...I would cut out most of the soft drinks except for

special occasions, and switch to iced tea sweetened with Stevia....or

diluted orange juice....or diluted V8. I do all the above. LOL. Sodas

are really not good for you---they leech the calcium out of your

bones, and the artificial sweeteners are not good in the long run.

That's similar to my fluid intake for the few years leading up to my throat

cancer dx in 1998 (probable had it since at least 1990 though). I still have the

cancer ---and my throat ---but I don't swim in soda anymore. I don't see this

stuff as " bad " or " good " , I just want to stick around and raise my only kiddo.

....

Ok, so some gave up coffee, some gave up soda. Some still drink one

a day. I think I have a serious problem. Tell me how bad I really

am...

I would LOVE to have you guys bladder! I drink only one cup of coffe and

water the rest of the day and I have to pee every hour! It got so bad I

went to a urologist and she diagnosed me with IC! I still think it's the

darn Cortef causing me to pee so much... do you guys have a bladder bag with

you or what? I would be in the bathroom all the time with that much coffee

and soda...lol!

LaCretia, one of the huge side effects I have had every time I have tried any

adrenal support, including glandulars is peeing constantly! I am tapering off

the last I tried as we speak, (I had tried Pred 5 MG a day for the last about

2.5 weeks) and I am finally not going as much. This is day three of 2.5MG.

Tomorrow I will have none and the next day 2.5 MG. I did not gain any benefit

form the adrenal support so I am stopping it before my body depends on it more.

Oh no, everything is always sugar free. That why I could tell myself

it was ok! Its just not ok. Diagnosed with Raynauds yesterday, and

was told to cut out all caffeine. I dont smoke so I have that going

for me. Today, I am cutting coffee in half, and diet pepsis down to

two. I dont want a withdrawl migraine... but by next week I hope to

be 90% caffeine free. Getting rid of all that fake sugar crap is

going to be good for me too. You know, when I was a teen I was

anorexic and bullemic. I think thats where all my stupid eating

issues stems from. Now, I think, I just go way out the other way,

having whatever I want, instead of nothing at all. Still some crazy

control thing I suppose. Now, its just the lack of.

I told the several doctors that I had suspected the Cortef was causing me to

pee all the time and all of them (3 different ones) and they disagreed. I

know that since I have reduced my afternoon dose, I'm peeing less already.

I think some folks have reactions that doctors don't expect...

I'm glad to hear that I'm not nuts thinking this!

As I have dogs in my shop often for several hours that are on Prednisone, I can

tell you it definitely IS a side effect from it!

Bad pony! BAD!

Just kidding, but it does sound like you're self-medicating. There was a time

when my first cup of coffee made me feel awake and ready for the day. Then,

without noticing it, it started taking two. Soon I had a cup of coffee with me

all day, and I was never ready for the day, even after it was over. After I

quit the coffee, I was surprised to find out that it made no difference anymore.

Caffeine will flog your adrenals, and that will work for a while, but once

they're shot, no amount of caffeine will help. At least, that's my

interpretation of what happened to me. Now, if my wife makes coffee, and if it

smells good, I have one, but I rarely feel like another, and I don't really

notice any " boost " from it. Same for pop, although sometimes I do crave them.

Usually one pop takes care of it, though.

The fact that you're cold is suggestive. Does anything else warm you up? A hot

shower? Hot tea? Or does it need caffeine? It's probably not sugar, because

you seem to like diet just as much as regular.

Did you do the saliva test and/or the eyeball test in the book? Sorry, bad

memory.

I have to admit I also drink coffee like there's no tomorrow... and I can drink

a pot and go right to sleep. I don't feel like it really helps wake me up, but

if I don't have it I get headaches and am very foggy in the brain all day. No

more awake physically, but mentally I need it. Sure I should quit, but I so

love the stuff.
