I am new to this group and to FMS. Just diagnosed. I know a few things about medicine, about microbiology, about organic chemistry, and on a good day I can remember some of the things that I know. I just finished reading the thread about alcohol and FMS. Everyone agrees that alcohol and pain medicine don't mix. Everyone seems to agree that FMS and booze don't mix. I think that everyone is correct, based on the pain that I feel now. Reading the thread caused me to form a hypothesis which I must attempt to disprove. Here is the hypothesis: Given: 1.)The cells of the human body can only consume 3 things; glucose, keytone, and alcohol. 2.)The consumption of alcohol acts as a diuretic and lowers the levels of salts, and the most annoying to have a depleted level of is potassium, as it caused cramping which would trigger FMS 'flairs'. Hypothesis: If I were to introduce Potassium iodide into my system as I drank alcohol, I could avoid a flair. I am beginning the experiment now, and I will let you know the result. |
