Hi All My other half went on his stag do part one on Thursday for the weekend so me and a friend decided to go out for a meal and cocktails on Friday! What a bad idea that was!! One cocktail lead to 8 and then came back to mine and carried on drinking. And as you can imagine I had the biggest hangover ever yesterday. As Im 24 I would like to be able to go out with friends and enjoy a few drinks but I just cant be dealing with the hangover. Does anyone know any hangover cures or mays to stop them being so bad as its my hen do in May and I want to be able to keep up with the rest of the party? Cheers guys xx

Hi sammi I know what you mean about hangovers uggh ! Have to admit I can’t drink like I used to just a couple of glasses of wine with friends now and again too much and ms symptoms kick in badly just not worth it. Obviously the best thing for a hangover is not to get one ! But at your age I didn’t have a weekend without one ! Same old advice plenty of water ,paracetamol, I always found a glass of pepsi made me feel better and a banana. My other half is at this very moment asleep in spare room he was out playing cards till early hours . I heard him staggering upstairs so he will have a hangover this morning, better get the pepsi in lol . Sparkly

Sorry meant to say about alcohol and ms not good together can really exacerbate symptoms. Sparkly

Fresh air and food always helps, fresh fruit juice and toast, as long as it stays down should help and if it’s really bad more sleep. Probably not much help now but I’ve found that if I don’t mix my drinks or have cheap wine then my hangovers aren’t anywhere near as bad, and that’s if I have one at all.

Thanks guys! I did find yesterday that my symptoms were worse like bad dizziness and jelly legs (not good when your going with your mom to get her mother of the bride outfit). I guess the moral of the story is dont get drunk when you a busy day the next day! I dont drink very often but im fed up of not being being able to do what i used to. My friend even said on Friday iv missed drunk Sammie. Im the first to admit iv got boring since i was dx xx

Lots of water.

Also, on the night of the drinky drink at least half a pint of water before you go to bed. The water helps with the hangover in the morning.

I’m with Shazzie - I tend to alternate alcoholic and non-alcoholic - ok maybe 2 to 1 rather than 1 to 1. Also I find orange juice helps and I do love peach snapps and orange juice. Probably the vitamin C etc. But a hangover is just severe dehydration mainly so plenty of liquids.

Hope you had a good night to offset the pain
