I've been using No-Doz off/on for years instead of drinking coffee or soda. It's way cheaper to buy a bottle with 80 or pills in it than it is to buy either of the others on a per pill to drink basis.
I might have a kidney stone, so I'm going to hold off for a while, as caffeine can contribute to dehydration, and for me that causes terrible kidney stones.
Also, I'm going to start pushing more water, as it's what I drink 99% of the time.
Yesterday, if it wasn't for my knees hurting so darn bad, I probably wouldn't have used any of my pain meds. Even then, my knees only hurt when I was climbing & descending the stairs.
Last night, my knees were hurting me, and when I sat down during dinner, I noticed my legs were swollen up pretty bad. When I pressed down on my leg above the shin bone, I left about a 1/4" dent in my leg.
So, I started using my little cycling machine again. Used it for about 10 minutes or so last night.
Today, I'm going to lift weights again, spend some time with the cycling machine and see if I can't help get the swelling to go away for good and help my knees with their movement. As it stands, I would really rather just move my office downstairs... finally, and not climb ANY stairs.
