Caffeine. Drinks like Red Bull are selling like hotcakes but many people, especially teens, are not reading the labels or really even contemplating the notion that caffeine is a drug. Some of them down the Red Bulls like pop, and then suddenly they're very sick with caffeine poisoning.Julia Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270211923343731659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-17023513454655119522008-05-26T21:35:00.000-04:002008-05-26T21:35:00.000-04:00That's terrible, Sandra.

I know there are good doctors out there, but boy have I heard a lot of stories about careless ones.<BR/><BR/>On a lighter note, this morning I couldn't remember if I took my vitamin, and I asked my husband if it would be bad if I ended up taking it twice. My son looked irritated and said, "Why do you keep overdosing?"Julia Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270211923343731659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-51254731713684322982008-05-26T20:01:00.000-04:002008-05-26T20:01:00.000-04:00What's really scary is when you're regularly takin...What's really scary is when you're regularly taking a powerful drug for a chronic medical condition and a DOCTOR tries to give you something that you know will interact with the first medication in a very dangerous way. That's happened to me more than once. You have to be especially careful about what you're given following surgery -- make sure everyone involved knows BEFORE the surgery that drugSandra Parshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403144248962124138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-20319013028107918912008-05-26T19:55:00.000-04:002008-05-26T19:55:00.000-04:00Thanks, Ilana.

Its made me very, very careful about what I give my children.<BR/><BR/>My sympathies on not being able to breathe.
