I know I’m not suppose to be drinking any of these but I just recently began working again and it’s nearly impossible to get through a 12 hour shift without one.

But today when I drunk one I got super super foggy!! Does anybody do this or know why? Obviously I’m not gonna do it again now

I wouldn’t be able to tell « why », just that sugar and non organic food/drink is a big no no whenyou have lyme..

If you need a lil boost, go with herbal green tea. My llmd says that’s allowed, the antioxident and other nutrient beat the fact that it contain cafeine (theine actually)

Depends what energy drink. They are different in contents, thus action. Read the contents.

Work is hard with this, but 12 hrs shift....wow, your a trouper. I always needed flex time even with only 8 hrs.

Red Bull brand has tuarine, to much B6, and less caffeine than coffee per ounce. The sugar free worked the same as the sugar one in my case.

The higher caffeine ones I could not tolerate.

Aatroman, yes red bull is what I was drinking. I felt extremely disoriented and foggy from it. Guess I’ll stick with water. :/

& Alexander I have always hated green tea. Lol

Before I knew I had lyme I started drinking monster energy drinks. It killed my adrenals. I'll never touch one again.

If you're going to drink energy drinks Hi Ball sugar free is the best I've found. Granted I had a Red bull today because I'm camping with no coffee pot, no organic food store, and somethings gotta get the bowels moving...

Not sure why you have symptoms specifically. I found some of my adverse caffeine symptoms resolved with better hydration

Sugar free Red Bull and short power naps in my vehicle on hour lunch breaks is what kept be employed during my worse symptoms era.

There are websites that show a comparison of ingredients among the more popular energy drinks. Red Bull, the most popular known, which gets the worse media raps, is probable better for you than many others out there. When party-ers slam several energy drinks combined with alcohol, gee....what could go wrong?

Unless you have a hard time metabolizing synthetic B6, Red Bull is no more harmful than coffee, and has less caffeine per ounce. It has inositol in it to. Taurine can be stimulating- its an amino acid.

I never seen Hi-Ball brand, but I dont shop around for alternatives any more.
