No Energy..but there's Redbull..

I have been experiencing fatigue more lately. I have been prescribed Amantadine and that didn't help. What I have been noticing is that if I drink a Redbull, I feel as close to "normal" than I've ever felt since this dumb disease began. I can "almost" forget that there is anything wrong with me.

I still have trouble walking straight but my tiredness and the leg pain seem to go away when I drink the Redbull. I know they are not healthy but I am desperate to have good days once in a while.

Any thoughts on this?
Luv you guys!!

Thanks for the response!! I get alot of grief from my Dr about drinking these. Its not an every day thing. I just drink them when I want to get projects done or hit up the mall.

My daughter and I hung up the Halloween stuff yesterday. I had such fun. There have been too many days where I am so tired I can't get out of bed.

I'm relieved to know I'm not unknowingly harming myself.

Take Care Jemm!

Hmm, just read the ingredients......http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/en_INT/Products/Red-Bull-Energy-Drink-021242751115866

Looks like maybe the combination of taurine and caffeine are giving you just the hit you need! I might try it!
