Dave,
When I was first diagnosed, I QUIT everything and still had them. Added things back a few at a time and NOTHING. Never was much of a drinker (although one year.....) but alcohol never seemed to trigger them when I was episodic. In fact now I've added back everything I quit and can't tell the difference. I don't drink because of the meds, but I still have no idea of triggers.
I firmly believe if these things are going to hit they're just going to hit and nothing we do or don't do is gonna make any difference.
Take about three dramamine before you go to bed. Margie says these keep you from going into the REM sleep. They've sure helped me to sleep. And remember to drink lots and lots of water.
Hugs BD
