I had to give up coffee for 35 years due to heart arrhythmias. Now I can have it again, but don't like it without flavored creamers so I just don't bother. I love tea, but for you, I will have just one cup of jasmine green tea today.
I am the same way,if I have coffee,I have to dump creamer in it,and put in a spoon of cocoa.So,we haven't drank coffee now for yrs daily except once in a great while.Like 4 times a yr.Where it use to be every day.That's bad you have those things all over.My gosh,it's almost like having leprosy.I will pray for you.And to have water every where retaining it and bloating up.I'd get some loose fitting clothes for sure.Was it hives or shingles you got?Fleas bite in the grass.I can't imagine what it was that would do that to you.You obviously had a reaction to it what ever it was.Well,lets hope the dr's keep getting a handle on it.What ever it is,it isn't good.I hope their doing antibiotics in cream or oral or both.Anyway,I too was wondering how you were so glad you checked in.We haven't heard from Lynn lately.Hope she is ok.Maybe we should check in on her too.It's 113 today and humid.I think we'll all be glad when september comes.Then we'll be out of the worst of it.Good luck and I hope your much better real soon.I am losing weight,I am losing weight,I am!
