If you wouldn't mind sharing, could you maybe tell me how you did it? :-)Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01882588855092909544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684630550950449740.post-37061817237092928792008-03-25T18:53:00.000-04:002008-03-25T18:53:00.000-04:00Lauren, Just think...when that time comes for you ...Lauren, <BR/>Just think...when that time comes for you to start the extended part of your family(aka kids) you won't have to give up caffeine, b/c you already have! I will pray for your heart and your will power/strength for not drinking the caffeinated sodas.The Herdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04472507772885670488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684630550950449740.post-9750037749135594562008-03-25T15:41:00.000-04:002008-03-25T15:41:00.000-04:00I have the same condition (I think) though not dia...I have the same condition (I think) though not diagnosed with the same title. Do you have PVC's and PAC's during "rest" periods? I assume you did a 24-hour holter monitor when you were being diagnosed. My holter showed PVC's and PAC's even when I wasn't monitored. <BR/><BR/>Caffeine is a big no-no for me, also. But I notice that stress, lack of (or irregular) sleep, and bad eating or too much sugar make my heart go crazy. Normally slight amounts of all of those things combined! :)<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry you can't have the soda you love. I last saw a cardiologist almost 9 years ago, so I am used to no caffeine, etc. I've become very accustomed to life without it though, and I can't imagine downing "jolt-like" ginormous coffee cups from Starbucks...though I do LOVE their decaf frapps! (But they really AREN'T decaf) Ah, whatever. Such is life, right! I don't need the calories that come along with most forms of caffeine (or the pricetag)!! That's one of my consolations!Dear Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06974643239999181057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684630550950449740.post-57871723566146781662008-03-25T14:51:00.000-04:002008-03-25T14:51:00.000-04:00Oh my... not ever being able to have soft drinks!I...Oh my... not ever being able to have soft drinks!<BR/>I usually try to stay away from them myself (they kinda make my stomach hurt) but I do enjoy a Root Beer every once in a while, but I drink hot tea every morning!

So, she hasn't any pop since last fall. So, she's in the same boat as you! :-)<BR/><BR/>I will be praying for you!Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01882588855092909544noreply@blogger.com
