Nun, ich muss gestehen, ich habe meinen Wein vermisst, daher habe ich drastisch reduziert. Jetzt messe ich mir zwei Gläser mit je 4 Unzen ein, eines während ich das Abendessen zubereite und eines während des Essens, sowie ein volles Glas Wasser dazwischen. Ich habe verschiedene Meinungen dazu gelesen. Was sind eure Gedanken und Praktiken dazu, bitte?
This is exactly what I do - measure out two 4oz glasses of white wine, add ice and some fizzy Perrier and Voila, it relaxes me.. my doctor is OK with this.
Ich habe heute in einem anderen Thread etwas über Alkohol geschrieben - ich musste meine Weingläser reduzieren - jetzt nur noch ein kleines Glas zum Abendessen, vielleicht 2-3 Mal pro Woche - schade, wenn man ein schönes Glas Rotwein zum Essen nicht genießen kann, ohne sich über die Kalorien oder den Alkoholgehalt Gedanken zu machen! Ich bin auch nur bei 1,5 mg.
I have to confess that I didn't know I had to cut down on wine. I have been happily drinking since diagnosed with PMR and have gone from 20mg of Pred to 8mg without problems. I know I'll regret asking this - what have you been told about about alchol and pred?
I think there is a risk it can increase intestinal bleeding, so should be treated with caution, just like we are careful with painkillers we use when on pred.
There should be no problem drinking a glass of red wine while on steroids. I drink red wine and tell myself it is good as it is anti inflammatory!
Yes, I do enjoy a nice glass of red wine with dinner. I have had no problems, blood tests have all been fine, and my doctor is fine with it.
Red wine does have antioxidents, I feel that we have given up a lot with PMR, it is nice to be able to just enjoy a nice glass of red wine and feel normal again. This has come up before, there are a few who will castigagte you for this, but there are others, like me, who have been just fine. I think this is an individual case by case thing. If your blood work is fine and you feel fine, enjoy!!!
Ditto Anhaga - und in den frühen Tagen von Pred, wegen der Müdigkeit und Immobilität, begann ich, Gewicht zuzulegen, sodass ich meine Kalorienzufuhr anpassen musste, was auch den Weinelement beinhaltete
Hi Anhaga, I have never heard that about red wine, where did you hear about that? I know there can be liver problems, but that is true of alcohol for anyone.
Dr Google.
I used to work in a library and for years used the internet to help young people find information. It's like another limb to me, and if I don't know something I look it up. My training in the library taught me how to evaluate sites so I think I'm pretty good at finding authentic information - not that one doesn't make mistakes of course.
Whilst I recognize that red wine is supposedly better for you than white, I can't chill, ice or fizzy up red wine and it's hot here in CA, so that's the reason I go white and it goes further!
Of course I have my wine! I live in Italy - no-one says not to drink unless it is a medication you MUST not drink with! Or if you are driving - but that goes without saying for me...
Pre-pred I found that the PMR stiffness was better after I'd had a glass of wine - the vasodilatory effect kicking in I suspect.
I believe tonight it is a cheeky little Teroldego novella (eat your heart out Beaujolais nouveau) :-)
Our local wines in northern Italy are fairly light - and always served slightly chilled. Occasionally when there's been a run on the red at the pizzeria perhaps a tad TOO chilled as it was brought up from the cellar. We also drink it mixed with sparkling water though personally I prefer them in separate glasses...
Oh I miss the taste of a good wine. Every time I drink it, evenjust three swallows, I end up tipsy and feeling ill. I have no tolerance at all. Enjoy your wine 🍾
I'm not a great wine drinker, although will take a glass occasionally. I have found myself drinking beer a lot more, as our family samples the offerings of a burgeoning local craft brewing industry! I figure if I can manage to use aspirin to treat headaches while still on pred I can safely imbibe in my rather abstemious way! This involves my husband and son splitting most of a large bottle and filling my little handmade wine cup with a small share. I treat alcohol like I treat chocolate - a little of the best goes a long way and is satisfying.
Thank you, that's what I think. Most things work better after a glass of wine or three. Ciao
Do you drink your three swallows on an empty stomach?
I have the solution to your proble. Find Isobel Mondavi (Daughter of Robert) who produces a Cabinet Savignon Rosé which you will chill natually. It's fabo . Let me know!
Depends what you mean by empty. I have a glass or three before my evening meal but I always have lunch.
