The symptoms are not just sinus related.

Someone here mentioned water, that will help de-tox you by washing out any toxins in your cells. Besides that caffeine dehydrates you. 80% of the people do not drink enough water. Go for 70 ozs a day. I'd buy bottled Volvic for at least a month for the natural trace minerals. It's not cheap but it's really good water. Then switch back to your regular water.

I realize, I am giving you a recommendation that is a lifestyle change that is not easy or even popular. But it works long term. Helps if you have someone assisting you.

This is good. Lifestyle change is what I'm aiming for. Aiming for natural energy from food and good health rather than this fake quick fix that will maybe last an hour, then the fatigue sits in again. I'm just wondering what a decade of energy drinks has done to my body that I don't realize.

Do you by chance attend MNU in Olathe? My best friend in on the basketball team.

The human body is incredibly resilient. You're young enough that I imagine if you seriously cut them out now, you'll feel great within six months and probably get off easy on long-term health implications.

That sucks bro, that he can't drink alcohol, dance, or say an f-bomb.

Anything can be an addiction. It has control over my mind. The only thing that has control over my mind.

Yeah, it does affect your body after that long. It's gonna take some strong discipline plus. Read some good nutrition books at least. Balanced B complex plus Niacin ( as they only use niacinamide) are energy vitamins. That's what Brewer's yeast is high in.

I suffered from horrific fatigue after having a C section and a baby. I just happened to come across an allergy specialist and nutritionist internal medicine chiro, who isolated what the cause was and I had a resurgence in energy. I drink coffee in moderation—mainly just a cup or two in the morning. I know what foods affect me or bring my energy down. I only went to her after regular doctors could find no pathology in my blood work. You don't need to have a disease or illness to suffer from some poor health issues. However, long term they can become something worse if not attended to earlier. It's just preventive healthcare.

Dude, just suffer through a few days of being tired. Your body rebounds faster than you think. Unless there is some property specific to energy drinks that I don't know about, it shouldn't be this hard.

just buy them by the case at costco. drive your yearly total down to 1500 instead of 1700

I'd like to find someone like that. That can help pinpoint any other issues.

My step mom tried to scare me into stop drinking them. Tried to convince me that I am drinking bull semen in every drop. She's partly right. They obtain the taurine from bull semen, but surely it's not actually bull semen you are drinking. Or maybe it is, one energy drink company is just taunting us right to our face by indicating we are drinking semen from a Bull, with Red testicles, named Red Bull. Nonetheless, I always tell her I have to run into the convenience store to get me some Bull Jizz to drink.

Ha. Good chance if there's more just sitting around the house, then I'll just be drinking more. And making more trips back to the store.

It takes 21 days for something to become a habit. I need avoiding energy drinks to be that habit. It's possible. Just have to fight it.
