Damn, Kristen!
Pepcid (and its ilk) and tums are my friends, may they be yours too!
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

Prilosec OTC has been my salvation. I just had a coworker go through the exact same exerience! He started feeling much better after I recommended it. I used to take Nexium but the insurance company won't cover it, they said Prilosec was the alternative. It mostly works well. I sometimes have to augment with something for a short time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My doctor told me that Prilosec was indeed Nexium over the counter. I don't know how pharmalogically literal that is, but luckily I haven't had a need to try any other pill than the purple one.

That was a pretty extreme way to avoid writing, Kristen. I remember life before acid reducers. It wasn't pretty. It does seem like something that painful should be killing you. So glad it wasn't your heart.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Ah procrastination. Seriously, glad you are ok and get yourself some Prilosec. I couldn't live without it.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Kristen, glad to hear you are ok.

Look on the bright side Kristen, Last time I went to the emergency room, they had me wait for two hours, and it was 2-3am so it wasn't exactly crowded. And I was there under workman's comp/teamster's insurance (this was back while I was at UPS) so they had no worries about the billing. Sounds like they did the full court press with you, so it shows they it took it seriously...

Geez Kristen! I'm glad you are okay!
