    I’m sorry – what is it called TL?

    Yes, WWM, I do!!! Haven’t in a nice long while and really hope to keep it at bay this time around!

    Probably. for GD . I have very little tolerance, one glass of wine and I’m feeling pretty dizzy!

    Well, if I’m going to be dizzy anyway….

    The worst part is no caffeine!!!!! Especially when I’m up all night watching sitcoms, infomercials or whatever I can find.

    Calms (for daytime) and Calm forte (for at night), manufactured by Hyland’s.

    A few years back I developed ulcers and my doctor told me “NO caffeine”. I was a hardcore coffee drinker then. So of course I did what I do best…whine… and asked him what the heck I was supposed to drink in the morning??? “Postum” says he. NEVER fall for that – it is nasty!!!!! I think it’s what Ewell Gibbons must have had in the morning – you know, ground up tree bark.

    Yuk WWM! I know decaf is not 100% caffeine free, but what the heck is Postum?

    I’m not a very nice person without my first cup of coffee in the am.

    Martinis work for me!! LOL!!! GD, my son had a Tachtacardia (sp?) condition – it is fast beatings of the heart. They thought it was anxiety for a long time until they put a monitor on him. Just to be safe, you may want to have your doctor check you with a monitor. I am not a doctor, so my explanation will be simple, but from what I understand, the heart has “plumbing” (arterties & veins that carry blood to and from, and electrophysics ( electrical (type) of signals that dart around the chambers ) to keep it beating normally. My son’s heart had too many holes in the chambers, therefore, his “electric signals” wouldn’t go in the regular places, thus causing the abnormal beats. (You doctors out there are probably LYAO at my simplistic ranting – so please correct me if I’m wrong) … .anyway, when he was 18 they did an ablation (outpatient) and he’s been completely over them since. Just a thought!

    Very good point Abbi. GD, if there’s a “heart racing ” component to your symptoms, you should make sure that a holter monitor test has been done (basically monitoring your heart rate over approx 24hr with a home device), this is to exclude any heartrhythm abnormalities.

    Postum is roasted grain. I think that even a self-respecting Civil War soldier would have refused to drink that stuff!!

    AV, very nice explanation! *gives AV an “A” for today’s class!!!!*

    I’m not in the medical profession – I am in the nursing profession. I got my backside handed to me by a professor in nursing school for saying that we were “in the medical profession”. Boy, I never made that mistake again!!!!

    I’ve had the heart monitor test, TL and AV!

    I do drink decaf when I can’t have regular coffee. There’s no way I’m not even having that!
