ALCOHOL AND ME!
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi everyone
Can any of you with ME tolerate alcohol - I know that most of you can't.
Have just been to ME self-management group and three of us stated that we could toletate alcohol and it didn't seem to make any difference to our condition. The person taking the course then said that if we were able to tolerate it we should question whether we actually have the illness or not :shock:
So the three of us are now wondering what it is we are suffering from if it's not ME.
How come I have ever single symptom in the book other than alcohol intolerance.

And what HAVE I got then???

I've found that i get drunk really quickly now , have blackouts & it takes me days to recover . Saying that however , i still do drink on the odd occasion as i feel enough of my life has been taken from me & can enjoy myself the odd time if im having one of my better days . I only drink with friends in the house though as won't risk going out to a pub .
:D

Thank you for your input on this subject - most helpful.
Well, it does seem that I am one of the lucky ones and can imbibe (is that the right word - it doesn't look it, but then nothing does these days :roll: ), in the odd drinky or three.
And as most of you unfortunately can't join me I will have a drink on all your behalfs :lol:

As Teedie says, don't mess with your medication (we are nurses so we know these things
It's still very early days with your new tablets - please don't give up on it yet, and anyway you mustn't just stop suddenly. Please just give it a chance.
There's no harm in having a 'crush' on your boss either - but just be very careful (especially if he is married!) - crushes are harmless and great fun - it almost makes you WANT to go to work!! And as Teedie also says, please don't put yourself down - you sound a lovely person to me (and can write great poetry).
Take care and don't forget your medication.

i have been trying to look for information on why alcohol makes me feel better. I'm self diagnosed with me/cfs. Have had a myriad of me/cfs symptoms for about 4 years. On my bad days having 2-3 glasses of wine really helps. In fact it seems to be the only thing that helps.
