- How common are side effects from PPI's? It seems like every medication I get put on, I get terrible side effects. With Omeprazole, I'm getting headaches, muscle spasms/twitces, chest pains, and maybe a couple more. Can I expect my body to finally...
- I've been trying to read through old posts to find answers so I'm not asking questions that have already been asked a dozen times, but I can't find this one. Is it safe to take fish oil pills with gastritis? I don't know if it makes a difference,...
- I know this is a stupid question, but can I still take zantac while taking a PPI?
- I've been lurking for while and have been a member on other boards, but this is my first post on the gastritis forum. My question is, during a flare, does anyone else have palpitations-spasms? I have 2 ulcers and gastritis, and thought the problem...
- Hi all. I'm new to the fibro board. I've been searching for a couple of years trying to find the answer to my medical problems. My new doc is leaning towards fibromyalgia since every test they give me is coming back normal. I've read that it...
- Hi everyone. Just thought I'd join this group since my doc thinks my anxiety and possible depression are causing my health problems. I'm not sure if she's right, but I guess it doesn't hurt to try. My question for everyone it this. Does anyone...
- Well, my wife finally got tired of my PCP and made me an appointment with her NP. She said the nurse actually cares about her patients and wants them to get better. So I gathered up all the paperwork, labs, my little symptom notebook, etc, and...
- I have a question for all of you fine folks. What do/did you do when your spouse's armor starts to show cracks? By that I mean they start to get tired of your health problems? My wife has been really supportive, but the last few weeks, she's...
- Can everyone sense the sarcasm? LOL. While I'm taking corticosteroids, I like to keep an eye on my blood pressure because steroids can make it jump really high. I happened to notice this morning, while my BP was perfect, my heart rate was 53! I...
- When it rains it pours, right? My wife misunderstood the sleep lab doc. I talked to her, and she didn't realize I had done a little homework on sleep apnea. She said my score was 6.4. I replied with, "A normal person has up to 5 apneas every...
- Ok, even though I know you all said it was a waste of time, I did the sleep study. Mainly because my mother in law was going to "string me up by my toes" if I didn't, lol. Plus, she said she'd help pay for what insurance doesn't cover, which as it...
- Hi all. I was sent last night for a sleep study to determine if I have sleep apnea. Before I left this morning, the person that did the test said he wasn't sure what the doctor would decide to do, but I did have a few apneas, and a few oxygen...

- Gotta thank my Dad for helping me worry about something else! "Hey Jeff, with you being in the woods a lot, have you been checked for Lyme disease?" After reading up on it....for hours.... now THAT has me worried. Even though they say it's rare in...
- How do you all think they handled things like hypothyroidism back in the good ol days? I'm getting desperate to get my outdoor life back, especially without the fear of passing out or something going wrong, (I find that I feel like I'm going to...
