Hi Julsie,
I'm like you, afte taking my evening meds and waiting a couple of hours i realize in order to get to sleep i need something to take the edge off.
Since i refuse to take any narcotics (i don't like the way they make me feel) and don't take any Nsaids, i get my glass of rum to ease the pain and to relax me.
I take it around 11pm when i know i'm headed for bed.
My liver and kidney have been tested twice this year and everything is fine.
With all the blood work both of my doctors have taken from me i'm sure they see the alcohol in my system but no one has ever said anything to me about it in 2 yrs.
Like any narcotic it can be additive,,, you can also over dose if you are not careful. Plus if you take narcotics the addition of alcohol can be deadly.
Since us lupies pay a lot of attention to what our bodies are telling us we should be able to determine when enough is enough.
In short, i'll take a glass of rum over any vicodin or hydrocodone any day.
This is personal information i chose to share with all of you. This is not in any way advice or suggestions on drinking alcohol.
Alcohol and painkillers are a deadly mix.
Please be safe in taking you meds.
Consult your physician on any issues concerning this matter.
Take Care
Good Luck
