I'm hoping I can partake in this test very soon. The hits are down to one a day and very low Kip. Afraid to guzzle yet though ;D

On a great note, congrats George!
Suck one down for me :)

Congrats!!!

On this note. I've noticed I too can't drink beer when in cycle. But I had a couple vodka drinks with no problem. Anyone else? Is it just beer and wine or any alcohol for most of you?

Thanks

Well Weatherman I don't drink Vodka, I'm a whiskey, bourbon, beer and wine guy. ANY of those will cause an attack within minutes. I wonder if the light alcohol is different from the wines, beers and darker ones??????

I tried beer once with hugely disastrous results and have never even considered trying any sort of booze whatsoever since.

Just passed the beer test this past weekend and what a time for it to happen. My wife and I had our anniversary on Friday night so I had a couple of drinks with dinner.
I had one slight CH (K3) through the night and after that it just seemed like they were gone so I tested again yesterday during football. 3 beers and no pain. Slept though the night. With remission here all I can do now is continue to post on this site with my support to all of you.

This place is better than any doctors office :)

And...happy anniversary.

All the best,

George

BOTH George and Chad outa the grips of the beast!

We got 2 major reasons to party down now - that is excellento! ;D ;D

Post by Chad on Sep 29^th, 2009 at 3:55pm

I can understand. I didn't drink for 2 weeks. I feel horrible saying that considering this was my shortest cycle ever. I give MUCH credit to rc seeds and all of the tips from this wonderful family on ch.com.
And for me finally getting O2 into gear. I'll have it by next cycle. I found my source :)

I wish all PF days real soon!

Joni,
It's kind of weird with me, but for some reason my body kind of tells me i'm going into remission. When I had that first drink last friday while out to dinner with the wife, I popped an old Imitrex pill (1/2 pill) to safe guard my dinner. I had several drinks. I had one very weak CH about 3am even with taking 9mg of Melatonin before bed. Sure enough, I didn't have any CH on Saturday so I did another beer test on Sunday while watching the Eagles game without any meds or energy drinks no pain and have been PF since then.
What I'm getting to is that my body kind of signaled me that the cycle is over and you can try a drink.
While in cycle, I had absolutely no desire to have
anything alcoholic.

Joni, I'm pulling for you to have that glass of wine real soon. Hang in there :)

Chad

Post by Joni on Sep 30^th, 2009 at 12:00pm

Thanks Chad! I am looking forward to the celebration!!! By the way, I know what you mean about the body telling you when it is over. I feel that, too. I am just waiting in case they are trying to trick me.
