Ulcers!

I just spent three days in the hospital. After fainting 3 times last Saturday I ended up in the emergency room. End result was I extremely anemic due to excessive blood loss caused by two ulcers (that I was unaware of). I had to have a blood transfusion as well.  I guess I have the answer to why I was so irritable (major symptom of anemia). I am sure all the espresso was a contributing factor.

I learned my lesson. I am on two new meds for ulcers, increased iron supplements,  and off the doubled and triple espressos.

I feel much better after only 4 days. I am down 55 pounds in just over 90 days.

We all live and learn.

Hi, sorry to hear of your yucky 3 days! I have to say that I was,am,is a diet dew addict. I still drink some,bu****ered down with ice and followed by a glass of water. Not nearly as much as I used to drink. You are looking good!! Hope you feel better soon and have a nice holiday weekend with your family!!!

Caffeine is a hard addiction to kick but it is pure acid.

Wow and I was just trying to tell myself that I was handling coffee fine and to stop worrying about it! I had a ton this weekend and now I am scared!

Well I am glad you are feeling better and they figured out what it was. You look fantastic and like you said- sometimes we have to learn the hard way. Did they tell you no caffeine at all now/? I bet you prob wont bother either way right? Do you think Coffee is just as bad or was it just the super strong espresso? I have about 1 cup a day- maybe a half cup because i rarely fini****
I tried decaf but missed the real deal!
