caffiene (from the amphetamine conversation and Tom)

[Guest guest]

hi

i'm interested to know how you all feel about caffiene. i've been

caffiene free now for 4 years, way before i had my diagnosis, just

because i react quite strongly to it. i got so tired the other morning,

i had a cup of weak coffee as an experiment - blimey it definitely was

what was needed and kept me going well into the evening, i was flying on

it !

i''ve heard that caffiene is not good at all for MS, and was wondering

whether to use it as an emergency measure for that extra energy boost,

or is it best not to bother ? i have also been tempted to have a can of

red bull, that would blow my head off no doubt !

Tom - i have had some exposure to 'recreational' amphetamine some years

ago, and my view of it is that it can seriously screw your head.

however i think it is used / has been used for some kind of attention

deficit disorder in children in a controlled way - it might be worth

looking into that for side-effects etc.
