Cris, I can honestly say I feel worse. I just decided to quit all of the soda pop and fruit juice I've been drinking daily. At least 2 gallons a day and have replaced that with water. I am going to see a Dr. at 3:30, hopefully he will be able to explain why I am not getting any healthier feeling. Thanx for asking honey.

I have tried several different brands as "taste tests". Perrier is my favorite but WAY too expensive.
Arrowhead is too bitter.
Several other brands are ok, but the reason that I like Crystal Geyser is that the bottling facility for the west coast is on a mountain somewhere in California and the water tastes like rain, very sweet.

That really sucks. I made an appointment with a Dr. today to see what he can do about that.

Is your tap water so bad that one of these simple little Brita systems I have wont work? I probably would not drink tap water either, unless thats all that was available at the time.
You have to give it a couple of weeks for your kidneys to finally get all the junk filtered out of your blood, then things will settle down into a good routine.
Also, (and folks this might be a little TMI) but I judge how much water I need to drink by the color of the urine. If it is clear, like water, I've had too much.
If it is yellow, I need more. If I am drinking a ton of water and it's still coming out yellow, there is something that needs to be gotten rid of and I continue to slug the water down until it clears out.
I've gotten rid of headaches by doing that. Cris.

Yeah the water tastes and smell like sulphur in a lot of areas down there.

Is there any caffiene in all that soda pop you are drinking? Caffiene withdrawels are terrible, headaches, feel like you have a fever.
And it takes several days for it all to work it's way out.
When I dropped coffee a couple of years ago it took two months before I felt completly free of it.
IMO it is harder to quit caffiene than tobacco.

Well that'll be tomorrow then. I decided to sleep today instead of get up since they're just planting trees today.

That dozer might not be less aggravating though. Stupid thing won't stay running.

Changed the fuel filters, changed the fuel shutoff microswitch, tightened up any loose electrical connections. Still no fix. I think dad's planning on bringing out a mechanic soon.

Yes. It's got injectors with lines to each injector. It's an almost brand new Cummins engine in it just so you're aware.

Yes, most of the pop I was drinking was heavy with caffeine, but I am still drinking a couple cups of coffee first thing every morning and then switching right to water. Just sip it all day long, no chugging. IMO, you've never been a heavy smoker, like in the 3 pack a day category.

Give it some time then. Suddenly reducing the amount of caffiene in your diet will make you feel like you are dieing.
I used to smoke, 30 years ago and quit cold turkey several times.
