Hi Megan,
Glad to read you are doing better and I've been where you are with this. I found that taking a hot shower sorta helps with the freezing cold
Ummm Foster's Beer yummy and I've Funneled Guniness as well and put away my share of Budweiser along with others but with the Diagnose of Celiac Sprue - nothing made with wheat although there is wheat free beer on the market now.
In my 20's- I could go to work, evening class, drink all night at the night clubs, come home, take a shower, and then go to work with no hangover. But one morning put me in bed for three days with the freezing cold, tired, and vomitting everything -The party in that way was over ....oh I tried with the making sure I had enough to eat and never missing the prednisone but still it took me longer to recover in the morning. I tried the I'll just have three for the night and I also had the same experience with different things like rum and coke but forget vodka. Three drinks of anything made me feel the same even with drinking enough water sigh .... so went to One and done or two (sigh) no getting drunk at all as I would get drunk to forget the clitorectomy/ exams ect ...And what do you know all that was still there.
Even with having one (sigh) ...it sometimes stays with me in the form of feeling off the next day.
I think and not a Doc here ...of course but what might be happening is an accumulation of things were you might of been feeling pretty much Ok but the drinking was what stacked the deck and pushed you over.
I can't tell others how much or little to drink but I have to stick to one and done BUT I try and make that drink the best ever- I'll have one Martinni that is top shelf and that's it.......sip and make it last - then order an ice tea or soda with lots of lemon and limes.
Missing your medication for both doses didn't help ya-But I've been there as well.
These days I like to cook with a little something something - It will be a rum cake or brandy in the Lobster bisk and that is it.
I didn't know you were a Salt -Waster? I thought you had Simple- Virilizing like me ....my bad.
Good Luck
