If cheese is supposed to make you dream while you sleep, then what does it do for your head while you're awake?

It makes you ask cheesy questions about effects of cheese on the concious mind,..cheese for lunch then was it? MMM..3 cheese question...drool! :D
6 years ago my mum was on holiday and had cheese on toast before she went to bed. in her sleep she started dreaming about one of my brothers and then she woke up and was having a heart attack.
to cut a long story short she had 2 angioplastys and a bypass and 6 years later is still with us. she was 34 when she had a heart attack...........
if that don't put u off eating cheese before you go to bed then i don't know what will
Cheese, bovril, pickled herring and marmite are full of a neurotransmitter called tyramine. If anybody on this site takes antidepressants( common when owning a nissan) make sure that they are not from a Group called M.A.O inhibitors. Because if you eat the above foods on these drugs then you are playing russian roulette with your body.:rolleyes: Its known in the medical world as "the cheese reaction".
By the way its the tyramine etc that causes the dreaming.:D

Are you being serious?
I'm not being rude, just very curious. It was going well until you got to the "cheese reaction" bit. I'll have to look up what I was on, see if they were MAO inhibs. COz I didn't get much strangeness. What antis are classed MAOs?

I should not laugh (because I know how severely unfunny this is) but:
Side Effects of anti depressents
Expect them, particularly with pharmaceuticals. Anti-depressants are powerful drugs that affect the brain chemistry, and side effects are almost inevitable. These can include nausea, insomnia, anxiety, paranoia, dizziness, stomach and bowel problems and more. Some users describe feeling as though they're living in a dream, but this is quite rare, and may be linked to the depression rather than the drug. More common is a lack of emotions, either good or bad. But although these side-effects sound unpleasant, they are not universal and they are nearly always preferable to the feelings of depression. Most occur within the first few weeks of use of the drug. In a very small number of people, anti-depressants of the SSRI group have been known to exacerbate depression rather than helping to cure it, but such events are very rare.

I don't think they are used so much now, only if others don't work. I think the doc would have given you very specific warnings if you were on this type of medication as well as foods, they also react badly with a number of other drugs.
PS used to work in a pharmacy I'm not on any of them!!

Bizarely headache is a potential side effect of narcotic (any opiate based, e.g codeine) pain killers
Unfortunately I do work for the NHS.
The cheese reaction causes severe rises in blood pressure when cheese and above foods consumed in some individuals on the MAO type drugs.
Consequences in some individuals can be serious
:eek:
ps how do i post picture on my sig (NB step by step computers are not my forte)
Cheers mate.
Wow, what did I start here?!
Bit of cheese for lunch got me thinking that's all. I tried to work out if the increased brain activity of dreaming could be related to increased daytime concentration for revision for my exams.:rolleyes:
And you know what? I got quite a lot of work done today:D
Dont know if i missed it in your posts but the effect on the male undercarriage seems to be the biggest deterent of taking these drugs.:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Recent research has shown chewing increases brain uptake of information. So does smoking and increased sugar uptake ie whilst revising you should be smoking a marlboro light, chomping on a mars bar and consuming vast quantites of wrigilies extra:D
Avoid teeth whitening gum as it has a diarrhoea like effect...:rolleyes:

what you want to do is save the pics to a place on the web. Email them over and I'll host them for you.
what you then want to di is
[i m g] the address of your image [/i m g] but without the spaces in the img
then it should work

Geocities does not let you link to files externally either. You'll have to find some other webspace, e.g do you get any free space from your ISP? Or theres www.imagestation.com
cheers star & papa, thanks for the info:D
no worries
:)
if you want to stick the files on my server, hammer them to contact@crazydiamondmedia.com
So what do you do for the beloved NHS then?

Ahh excellent.
WHile you're here, Dr, can you take a look at.....
;)
Is it sitcom stuff, or do ppl really do that to Docs?
The stuff Ive seen and done in my time makes scrubs/tlc and other sitcoms look pretty lame really. If I sat down and wrote about the experiences etc there would be a large number of large volumes of bizare, extreme and mostly hilarious stuff- maybe someday. I think secretly we all have similarities to Harry Hill.:D
Have a good day at Bolney. I'm off to Bridges in Crawley to pick up some bits for the S13.
Cheers:cool:
