- It seems like I am so dizzy every morning after I take my synthroid. Yesterday morning I had to drive my husband to the city so I decided I would not take my synthroid to see how it would go. I was a lot better. I was able to drive without any...
- I think I know the answer to this but I'm pretty much unclear on all this. If you're taking Protonix ( or others ) but can't eat doesn't that kind of contradict the whole point of taking the PPI? I mean, doesn't that make things worse instead of...
- My mornings are the worst. When I start out badly, I just give up on the rest of the day. Right now I have a lot to do. My husband is not well and I have to push myself to help him. He had eye surgery today and of course I woke up feeling lousy...
- Have you guys been offered pain meds by your gastros? It seems like they work hard at trying to calm our gastritis with PPI's and things like Carafate. But I've never been told anything about something just for pain. So I'm wondering if you all...
- Sorry to drag this up again but I just get worried that I'm doing something wrong that prevents the Carafate to work properly.Is it absolutely necessary to be totally empty when you take carafate? I keep forgetting what time I finished eating......
- I'm assuming that all of us get this unexplained, random pain that seems to come with gastritis. I just want to know how it goes for you all. Sometimes the pain is around the ribs.... sometimes it only lasts a short time... other times it's worse...
- Why is it that doctors, especially endos, seem to hate it when we tell them what we read on the boards from REAL patients? My endo goes nuts every time I find something that might actually help me if he would just read it and keep an open mind.He's...
- Do most of you mix prescription meds and some kind of alternative remedy like Zantac or Gaviscon? I just don't know if I can stick to my doctor's orders of taking Carafate and Protonix exclusively for a month. Seems like in between I need some...
- Is there a pain med we can take for that pain that doubles you in half? The pain right at the base of the stomach/esophagus in the middle of your body? I saw the doctor today and agreed to try taking the Carafate and Protonix for one month. But I...
- I'm sorry to be asking so many questions. I know you all have better things to do than try to straighten out my muddled head.I've lost a lot of weight since this started. I'm assuming it's the gastritis because they haven't found any other reason...
- Do you find yourselves constantly clearing your throat and sounding kind of weak or hoarse when you talk? I'm almost choking for no reason. Lots of little coughs. Then there's all this pain in my teeth. I do have MS and a mild case of...
- Guys I feel like I have to tell you all this. My friend's 27 year old son woke up yesterday feeling ill. Went to the hospital and was put in ICU and told he might need a liver transplant. I was told he had digestive problems and took tons of...
- I keep reading that raising the head of the bed or using a wedge will help keep some of the acid down. Does anyone use a wedge?
- Does anyone use Ensure? I've lost so much weight and been so sick that I drink one each day. It's about the only thing that is keeping me from totally being empty. Also, they gave me Protinex in the hospital today and it actually worked to stop...
- I had a little visit to the e/r today. Turned out to be esophageal spasms. Are these things related to the gastritis and GERD? Can anyone tell me anything about this??
