Celeste,

I'm also planning on drinking my ACV before bedtime. However, I've already had 3 and I don't think a 4th would hurt. My reason for drinking the 4th is to soothe my aching joints. It works. I can't believe it.

One of the beauties of this is that it is FOOD so it is really hard to over dose... well, I suppose you'll know it if you start smelling like pickles

i kinda smelld like that yesterday but that was beacuse i was trying it on my exzema (spelling) and was getting out of hand and decided to wash my face w/ it.. OUCH... thatk inda burnt.. weird hu.. i kept smelling it all night till i got up and washed my face w/ soap... couldnt handle the smell.. felt like i was locked in a pickle crock...

LOL at Gilley.

Well, my pre-bedtime experiment didnt go quite so well. Not sure where i messed up, but i took the dose and then 30 mins later had 2 oz of kombucha tea, i laid down about 20 min later and started to dose off, then all of sudden i became fully awake and just couldnt stay in bed. I got up and messed around for over 2 hrs, got nervous because it was after 1am and im never wake that late. So i got back in bed around 1:30am and laid there for about 30 mins i guess and finally dozed off. Kept waking up about every hour, then 5am found myself fully awake again and surprisingly not tired. I got up again, messed around until around 7am and decided to try and get another nap in, so i laid down and got 2 more hours in, now im on here, lol.

Im so sure that it must have been the combo of ACV and K tea. Well i wont have both tonight, thats for sure, lol.

Oh one more thing, i think my appetite is too surpressed, not sure if thats a good thing or bad thing. The last few days i have been struggling to get the meals in, not snacking at all like i used to.

This morning, got up had my ACV, 2cups water, .5 cup hood milk, and forced down 8 pecan halves so i can have something in the furnace to start out the day. Now i know this is not good at all, but i simply just cant eat anything else, not even my morning cup of green tea. Guess I'll be grazing until im hungry enough to eat a meal today.

Guess it was "experiment with acv" night!! I woke up 2 ish and could NOT get back to sleep - finally figured 'what the hay' and had another dose of acv. Finally drifted back off to sleep. But DEEP sleep, felt almost drugged trying to get out of bed this am, like I would if I'd taken a sleeping pill. I can see doing this if the next day you can sleep in. If this happens again, I'll take that less and take it right away instead of trying to will myself back to sleep.

Well, my bedtime ACV was very similar to April Rose. I drank my drink at 12:00am. By 12:15am, I was so sleepy I barely made it to my bed. I slept like a rock. If my body was aching, I didn't feel it. I agree that it almost felt as if I had taken a sleeping aid. The only difference is OTC sleeping pills make me drowsey the next day and the ACV didn't.

(((hugs)))

I'll be praying for you...

Ok, i did again and ended up with too much energy that late at night. So i think im gonna roll the K-tea back a couple of hours and see from there.

Now here's the really really cool thing, or maybe its too early to tell, but i started TOM last night and i didnt gain an ounce this month prior to. I thought my hands and ankle felt a lil swollen a couple of days ago, but when i got on the scale it didnt show a gain, so i thought nothing of it. I will have to monitor this again next month to see if this is pattern or just the fact i should have had a loss that TOM stole and will show up in a couple of days.

Now didnt have any physical symptons other than slight bloating, usually im in pain, headache, tensed muscles and weakened limbs. Now if i can only find something to help me with the emotional part, lol. I could tell by evilness and crankiness that TOM was here. For 2 days prior, im so mean and i know the culprit, but still i let it take control. Thank god the crankiness is gone, Im nice again today, lol.
