a lot of sugar substitute drinks and am wondering if this could be doing this. Anyone ever figure out anything like this as far as triggers.

Vitamin E also works well. Get the liquid capsules at the store and just pop one and use the liquid inside; generally works overnight for me.
fever blisters
often these are triggered by stress. I used to get them all the time until my mom told me to get rutin from a health food place and take it for 1 month. I did and it was 3 years before I had another blister outbreak!
Does anybody know what helps get rid of fever blisters really fast. I just got some and they are
not very nice looking on my lips.

I hate to run to ER if nothing that cant wait until tomorrow when doc is in. TIA

High Fever
Have you tried cool compresses along with the Tylenol? Maybe that'll help. I hope she feels better soon. I have a four year old and it's awful when she's sick. Also, does she have any other symptoms. When my older daughter was young she spiked high fevers a lot and they were always viral infections and you just had to wait it out and give Tylenol or Motrin every six hours to break the fever.
Low grade fever again
I am so tired of this....seems like every time I turn around, I am running a low grade fever (99.0 up to 99.3, my normal is around 97.6). The temperature itself would not be concerning, but I can tell by the way I feel, even before I take my temp, that it's running high.
I have allergies and develop sinusitis very easily. In the past couple of months, I have taken three rounds of antibiotics because of low grade fever accompanied by sinus symptoms (pain, pressure, yucky green phlegm, etc.). That's the first time I've taken antibiotics in ages - I have to be pretty desperate to take them, because I don't want to develop a resistance to them.
Now I've got the fever again but no sinus symptoms. Anybody have any clues what else it could be? I mean, I don't hurt anywhere, I don't have any symptoms except the fever. I know I need to go in and get a complete workup; in fact, I have one scheduled for September 5 (that's the earliest appointment my doctor had). I'm just sick of feeling lousy.
4-year-old with a very high fever and I
 just can't remember what to do to break the fever. The fever is 102.3 now and I have given her a Tylenol chewable tablet this morning and another chewable at 2:00 p.m. Any suggestions...???
My animals have spring fever
MY 2 cars, one is 13+ and the other is almost 7 are bugging me along with my dog to play, and just pay some attention to them. It is nice outside and they sure have the spring bug. Hard to resist them. Just took the dog for a long run in the park with another neighbor's puppy and though it would calm her down but now, she bring in her stuffed animals and when I ignore her she will throw them at my chair to get my attention. So I keep taking 5 to 10 minutes to play and now am behind. Oh well, it only happens a couple of times a year so gotta enjoy it. But even the 13 year old is sitting on my desk, which she never does, and playing with my papers, pens, knocking things down and then just looking at me, like "Did I do that." But it is so nice here in Portland today, up to 60 gotta take advantage as will probably rain tomorrow.
ugh, agree. the worst. fever, too.
they give you antibiotics and you have to drink a ton of water - which, at the beginning, makes it hurt worse as the water flushes, like a hot knife twisting. After a day of medication it will start to lighten up.
Get your butt to the doctor now because it can spread down to the bladder, and that's another kind of pain you don't want on top of the kidney pain.
cool baths burn with fever
I discovered cool baths really burn when you have a high fever. Maybe tepid to slightly warm may be better.
In our family that is called "Present Fever" and there is no cure.
The only thing that has been successful for us so far are distraction tactics that keep them busy away from the tree and, in dire situations away from the house.
We also use empty "decoy" boxes under the tree (this started years ago when the little ones and the puppy would unwrap random gifts at random times), and we tell everyone they are getting socks and underwear, and that is all. Then we put there actual gifts under the tree on Christmas Eve.
My brothers and I all had present fever, but I cannot remember what our mother did to keep from being driven bonkers. I will have to ask and get back to you.
the increased mucus could be causing him to throw up. but with the fever... ???
I would give it 2 days. if the fever persists he needs to be seen. could be a number of different things. there are many different types of flu's.. so its hard to say.
You better believe it was! I would say better than the drink!!!
GOOD FOR YOU!
I drink at
Folgers instant.
I once owned an espresso machine, but the coffee gave me nystagmus :)
My drink on break
I think today at the mall I will order something to drink that I hate instead of getting what I like. That way I can complain. Same theory as continuing to read what one considers immature and boring in lieu of just going on and developing your own constructive topics that you like.
Thanks...and I drink almost never...I occasionally buy (sm)
wine coolers or something and leave them in the fridge thinking they will last me a couple of months and every time I go to look for one they are all gone (even though he claims not to even like them).
Does either one drink in excess?
If so go with the other. lol
I know I don't drink enough water...sm
I also have interstitial cystitis (chronic bladder inflammation) so I should definitely be drinking more water than I do. When I drink any carbonated drink, my bladder hurts the next day. I had a cystoscopy in September to diagnose this, and my bladder was all red and inflamed with little red pinpoint bleeding in it. When I do pee tests I have chronic white blood cells from the inflammation. So yes I would say I need to drink lots of water.
Your drink of choice?
Tonight I will be having club soda, cranberry juice and vodka with a twist of lime. Maybe two.....
I have a liquor cabinet filled, so what can I get ya?
rarely drink but when I do...
blended mudslide or white russian please!!!
:)
have a good one
HECK NO!! I can eat what i want, drink what i want
it's time to eat all the cheesburgers and milkshakes I want!!! I'm looking forward to old age :)
I have had a drink while typing but ....sm
usually just one and I don't get drunk.
I never drink while working.
Or work while drinking. I have done homework for school while drinking, however. Back deck, barbecue, Corona with lime, and the laptop.
Drink plenty of water...
I try to start my day with a pitcher of ice water on desk, like a 2-liter bottle and try to drink that during my shift, which really helps. Hubby and I went on program with Dr. and took Adipex and B12/B complex and followed the attached diet. We were on 1500 cal/day and he lost 65 and I lost 35. We quit taking the adipex but stayed with the diet. I lost 30 on this same diet several years ago too. It is well rounded. Somewhere I have an 1800 cal if you are interested. You don't count calories, it is already figured out for you. Daily meal plan gives you a break down of what to eat in a day (1 bread, 1 fruit, etc)and then the individual breakdown (breads, meat, etc.) lets you know what these include. (i.e. 1 bread - 1 slice of bread, 1 fruit 1 small apple or 1/2 cup canned fruit). No expense of buying diet products and you can eat regular food with your family. Funny. We used to eat 2 center cut chops a piece and with this we would split 1! There are free foods too so you could pile up a big salad for lunch and save other stuff for dinner. We did not quit drinking sodas, just switched to diet cokes 0 calories as opposed to 140 or so per drink. Good luck.

Of course! Just don't eat or drink while you're reading

I was one of the ones who was able to drink at age 18 back in the 1970s
I really don't have a problem with it, at all, but maybe for the 18-21 year old crowd, there should be a license, the same for driving. In fact, link the two together. Take a written test to get a tag to the driver's license that will allow the young person to purchase alcohol. If there are any infractions such as drunk in public, for instance, not only is the drinking privilege revoked, but so, too, the drivers license.
Barring that, as another posted stated, I say raise minimum military service age to 21.
Oh please, some people can drink responsibly
and it's nice to have a glass of wine socially here and there. This is not about that.
Try both *ROFL* - drink away *chuckles*...
today is my day off, think I'll join ya.......*lol*
My favorite hot Starbucks drink is...
a grande soy pumpkin spice latte with no whip cream. I have acquired a taste for coffee though, so I can't really tell you if they have a strong coffee taste. Their frozen frappacino things don't taste much like coffee - my 11-year-old niece loves them and she obviously does not like coffee! I say try their smallest size (a tall) and see what you think of the hot lattes. The talls only have 1 shot of espresso and the mediums (grande) have 2 shots.
My favorite coffee drinks are the frozen coffees at Baskin Robbins. You can get whatever kind of ice cream you want mixed with their coffee mix - to die for. I only let myself get 1 or 2 a year though because they are very fattening and expensive. Ice Rages are also delicious cold coffee drinks, and you can get them almost anywhere. The cookies and cream flavor doesn't taste like coffee to me. mmmm, now I need to go and have a cup of coffee! Just an fyi in case you didn't know - a regular cup of coffee suposedly has about 135 mg of caffeine and a shot of espresso has about 35 mg. That's what I read in a magazine anyway, so a latte (with just 1 shot of espresso) is mostly milk with just a little bit of coffee.
Or you can drink alcohol at home : )

nonalcoholic drink ideas
i love iced mocha but with them being so expensive these days (and me working at home) i took a shot at my own recipe and i must say it turned out pretty good. you have to play around with how sweet, chocolately, etc you want it but basically here's how it goes:
i freeze my leftover coffee in ice cube trays and then store them in a plastic baggie. you could brew fresh and do the same.
add the coffee cubes with milk, sugar, and hershey's chocolate syrup to the blender. blend away until you get the consistency that you want. i'm sure it would be better if you added cream instead of milk but i make do with what i have. add whip cream and chocolate syrup on top and its pretty dang close to those you buy for $4-5 a pop. :)
also, amaretto flavoring (usually found in the coffee aisle and nonalcoholic) is a good addition to regular warm coffee or to icecream and milk in the blender for an amaretto milk shake. its really yummy and a nice change.
also some wineries (and grocery stores but wineries let you taste) sell bottles of sparkling grape juice or cider. some even come flavored with raspberries and have a pink blush to them. mix that with orange juice for a fake mimosa (sp?).
you can also buy margarita mix without the alcohol and blend it up with ice and a little water.
Don't drink coffee, but lots of tea, but
am quitting the tea. Thank you kindly
Have also heard you can drink 1 beer
and 8 glasses of water.
My aunt is elderly but her husband used to drink
This was the love of her life and they had a child together. They both worked, lived with her mother to help her out on bills after her husband died and everything except his drinking went ok. After finding him in ditches, getting DUIs, passing out and the like, nothing worked. After probably 20 something years my aunt divorced him because she knew he probably would kill himself, kill someone else or something horrible. It wasn’t that she didn’t love him but just could not live like that. That was over 40-50 years ago. She still speaks of him fondly (he died in another state in a ditch but had her phone number in his pocket) but I am sure she thought she always made the right decision. Myself, I just would not want to go through that, too much else to keep me busy. Thank goodness no children for you- would be really hard to subject a child to that.
Fixing a flat (soft drink, that is)....... (sm)
I do this one all the time: Ever leave half a Coke in the fridge, only to come back later and it's FLAT? I simply open up a new one and add some in with the flat stuff, and the result is actually a smoother, yet still carbonated soft drink. And then you haven't wasted half a can.
Oh honey...go take a pill and have a stiff drink too...
some kids are just plain bratty and mean, bios and steps, no matter what the age. Many kids know how to manipulate the situation to their advantage, especially kids from divorce. Some of us are adult enough to see through it and make others aware. Nothing wrong with kids coming first, however, parents need to know when to reign little Tommy or Susie in and stop catering to them all the time.
drink tonic water...it has the quinine it it.
Cheaper than a prescription drug. Taste like crap but it works.
100% Columbian was so bitter, couldn't drink it!
Now I'm going to buy a bottle of water. Maybe it's our water.
Favorite drink is Coca Cola, bar none.
Remember back in the mid-80's when they felt they needed to compete with Pepsi, and came out with that horrible 'New Coke'? My boyfriend and I (both Coca Cola addicts) were SO sad when *real* Coke disappeared from California. One time we were driving in Montana and came upon a little store in the middle of nowhere, which had cases of REAL Coke! We sure surprised the store-owner when be bought every box he had in the store!
I wish I could drink coffee... loads of caffine with none of the
calories! I can't drink it wihtout putting loads of sugar and milk in it, then it isnt very low cal after that!!!! I love the smell of coffee and I wish I could just drink it, but I can't get over the taste.
Learned to smoke, drink, cut classes
Graduated in the 70s. Took dancing lessons and big big big into disco. Almost entered in the show Disco Fever. I was a little overweight, certainly not popular in the "cliques". Had friends from grammar school, scouts & 4H I hung around with (those are still my friends today). I was shy and stuttered when having to speak in front of groups (still do). I wasn't a "studier" - received mostly Cs (failed science, gym & history - or barely passed). No boyfriends. Pretty boring overall, but I'd trade everything in now and do it all again.
Oh for crying out loud! Drink some warm milk and
ajd;d
Totally agree! Lots of people under 21 drink anyway
so what is the point???? If they were to set a legal age, I think it should be 18.
Sounds like you need another triple shot coffee drink
I thought you were going to tell me your kids told you something great about yourself.
Loved Lolabug's response (at least your not in denial) HA HA HA.
I read this and thought...wow...now there's someone who knows herself. HA HA. The only thing that I am best at doing is keeping my mouth shut when DH is yelling at me for something I didn't do.
I like Barnies, hate DD, drink Folgers at home sm
I can't afford to buy more expensive right now, but I truly love Barnies coffee. It may be regional here in Florida, but if I splurge, I buy their Cool Cafe Blues. Holidays, I buy Santa's White Christmas, which Publix makes as an ice cream. Yum!
Is it safe to drink unopened canned items
That have been refrigerated for a couple weeks. Found a can of pineapple juice my husband put in the refrigerator a couple weeks ago, but didn't open. I know it's not safe to put open cans in the refrigerator, not sure about something that has not been opened yet.
You might be compressing a nerve in your spine or neck. Get up often. Drink all day long. See your
s
my youngest daughter puts her in the lunchbox just to keep her drink cold, but my oldest never does
sick yet. If their school is like my daughters' schools they eat about 3 hours after school starts so I would not think there would be a problem.
