Let me get this straight, you drank all of that this morning but are blaiming MS for bladder trouble? I'm not sure I'd get very far from the urinal after drinking that much. I'd have to just go sit down in the stall with a newspaper waiting for the flood.

In all seriousness, caffeine does help my headaches. Every year for Lent, I give up caffeine long enough to get over the addicition withdrawl (used to give it up for all of Lent) just to make sure that my headaches aren't from the caffeine. Once I know the caffeine isn't causing hte headaches, I go back to my 1-3 cokes a day. Gotta say, I'm a fan of the coke zero products, especially cherry coke zero

LOL. I was kidding about the tea. There is no way I could drink that much tea without getting such a buzz that it would make me a nervous wreck as well as have a huge blood sugar drop and an increase in tremors. Of course that in itself brings up another point.

Does anyone notice a difference in how they react with different sources of caffeine? For me 1 cup of tea effects me more than 2 cups of coffee. If I know that I really need to be on top of things in the afternoon, I will have a coke and that helps quite a bit.

Bird - I think you also brought up a good point. Is it during the formative years? The article does say prevent MS. We already have it so where does that leave one who already has it. They did discuss using this research to come up with meds but is that possibly a vaccine? It would be interesting to see which way this research goes and what becomes of it.

I bet it is the formative years and we all had mean depriving parents, who wouldn't let us drink coke and Dr. Pepper, or coffee or tea!!! LOL

We need to form a club....

Oh yeah .... we already did!!! :P
