Jackie,

Start by using 1/2 reg coffee and 1/2 decaf-- then increase the amt of decaf each day, and lessen the amt of caffeine.

Change to decaf teas-- the Herbals are great. If you need a caffeine hit-- maybe a SINGLE Hershey's kiss-- will do the trick.

Also, start gettting the decaf Diet Pepsi-- that way you're still gettng your pepsi fix-- but without the caffeine. I found that by taking away just one thing at a time-- and letting my body adjust to that- was how I had to do it. somethings took a week or two to eliminate. To do it all at once is to put your body into a crisis mode.

You'll find that when you get off the soda-- (too much sodium- salt) that you'll feel so much better-- you'll get rid of that water retention that salt is causing. You'll even find that your rings fit better!

If you've not picked up a copy of the THE SCHWARZBEIN PRINCIPLE- THE PROGRAM--by Schwarzbein, M.D. that this book will help you change over from what you've been doing to a much more healthy diet. She is an endocrinologist that had CFS while in med school, and had to make these changes herself. She has an incredible success rate with diabetes patients, and so many of the other immuno compromised illnesses. You can also get her cookbook and vegetarian cookbook-- and I gotta tell ya, I love the food.

She explains also that for those of us that have lived on prednisone for years-- how it effects the adrenals long term, and how to handle this issue. I'm doing the program under the supervision of my DC-- (her secondary speciality is nutrition) so I do have some guidance. There are Schwarzbein docs all over the country now-- so you can go online and find someone to help you. Or do it yourself. The key is to make small changes-- so that you don't put your body into a healing crisis.

Take care and go slowly, you can do this!!

Hey group

Does anyone know of a way to go off the caffeine without committing murder. I have drank Diet Pepsi since God knows when. If I go off the caffeine I turn into a real bitch. I don't even want to be around me. Then comes the headaches. I am in enough pain without going through all that. But if there is a way to go about this I would go that route. Any one know how to go about this?

Thanks

Jackie
