You all make me very happy.

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.

I called and left a message at my doctors office because my acid reflux is horrible. Wait to hours to get a call back from a nurse who takes down the same info and then tells me she will call me back after she speaks to the NP or doctor. So now I wait again.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
acid reflux
Oh, let me share my experience! I have occasional acid reflux, which was really terrible when I was taking a certain BP medicine (HCTZ). I found that the prescription once-a-day PPI type (like Prilosec) makes things worse for me, but the OTC take-it-as-you-need-it histamine-blocker type (like Tagamet) works quite well. (The calcium/TUMS type is only good temporarily and most of them contain things I don't want to eat, like mineral oil.) So, FWIW, if one kind doesn't work for you, there's another option.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My acid reflux flared up badly a month or so ago, and Tums did nothing but taste like chalky despair. So I got an OTC histamine blocker (I am too lazy to go see which one) and it's worked perfectly.
You know what the annoying thing about antidepressants is? I won't know if it's helping for at least 2 weeks, if not more. Boooooo.
Also, it's cloudy and I would rather take a nap than one last long (45-50 minutes) walk to prep for the 5K.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I did that for a while, until I got a kidney stone.

Teppy can you still look stuff up like whether the histamine blocker types are safe for pregnancy?

I've had the acid reflux for years and it has never been well managed but it is so much worse with the GD diet an it's focus on non starchy vegetables and proteins. My stomach can't handle it.

Nevermind it looks like I am already on one of the histamine ones, Pepcid, which isn't helping at all. And I can't take Zantac because it acts like speed in my system.

sj, there's an old wives tales that indigestion/acid reflux during pregnancy means you will have a baby with a full head of hair.
Probiotics have really helped with my acid reflux issues.
