Alcohol as a trigger (Read 1743 times)

Jim Tew CH.com Junior Offline I Love CH.com! Posts: 43 Delaware, Ohio Gender:	Alcohol as a trigger Jul 19^th, 2013 at 4:39pm I can't drink ANY wine in cycle. I'm in CH before I finish the first glass. BUT! Clear spirits (rangpur Gin at the moment) do not seem to trigger. So, knock on wood, I just had a Gin and Tonic. .

For the record, the Gin and tonic did trigger a CH which I aborted with 10 minutes of O2 and an ice pack on my neck...and some pushups.

You said a mouthful there Hoppy. I started D3 therapy early June, things went well so took my first drink early July, didn't want to push my luck so each time I restricted myself to one drink at any given time and everything's been great till Friday evening. We took the boat out and anchored out for the night, beautiful evening, had two and a half drinks and you know the rest of the story before I even tell it.
Didn't bring my oxygen so I just went along for the ride. Coulda been worse, it wasn't a 9 or a 10 but it sure was a slap in the face. Upping the D3 for a few days to get back on course, hopefully this cycle will die a natural death soon.

I won't mention names, of course, especially after the hate mail I received last time I admitted it.
