    No Bull!!

    Tried some red bull last night. Not a good idea for those of us with meneieres.
    I won't do that again
     
  2. What happen? Care to share?
     
  3. I was wondering if 5 hr energy drinks would do the same.

    A lot of caffeine in those drinks, that's why it wouldn't be good for us with MM, is my guess.

    I'm Ok with caffeine. But the red bull other ingredients made me wake up with extremely loud tinnitis and other loud roaring. As if I had been at a Rock concert.

    I do play in a band and we are pretty loud. I used to have to wear ear plugs but lately I havent.

    Never had a Red Bull in my life but the other day I went in after paying for gas to grab a diet Dr Pepper and my 5 year old nephew was with me and he asked if he could get a Monster beverage because he told me it would make him scary and turn him into a monster.

    I chuckled and under my breath said to myself you already are a monster. He settled on an apple juice and some smart food white cheddar popcorn.

    The last thing I want is my kids addicted to caffeine, because I am and it is a bitch to get off!!!!

    Good Luck Santa

    PS: my kids want to thank you for the gifts yesterday!!!! Cheers

    I would not dare drink anything with that amount of caffeine. I am sure it is a major no no for MM folks.

    I agree Redwing especially the 5 hour one has over 500 mg of caffeine omg that's like 4-5 cups of coffee at one time UGH

    I stay away from caffeine too, but because of the MAV not the MM. And I also am staying away from that dog picture with the fast moving legs in Fair2PartlyCloudy's signature. I think that's an MAV issue, too. Yay dogs though!

    That is what happens to me if I take Sudafed, or a "D" version of Mucinex, claritan etc..

    I would recommend avoiding Red Bull, Monster Drinks, or whatever they're currently labelled (I feel ancient saying as much) regardless of an individuals health, lack thereof, Meniere's or no.
