Aww poor dwaggie gives him a hug.

Blurg, i have stomach problems too and it's the woooorst.
If there's a problem with your hand you can not use it, but you gotta keep using your stomach.

Daaaaamn. I get that a few times a year, and when I have it, it's like... "ugh, what can I take to settle this tummy down??" Nothing seems to work.

Gaviscon works wonders for short term relief although I still have to be careful with what I eat and drink, and I have to sleep upright if I don't have my regular medicine. The actual meds my doctor prescribed me for is Omeprazole which is perfect for me - no side effects and keeps my reflux in check.

I 100% sympathize D: Fuck, 200%

until I discovered Omeprazole (and later Pantoprazole) I thought life was nothing but misery. It got so bad, that for almost 20 years, I couldn't swallow without being VERY careful, or food would get stuck in my throat... Rice was the worst, but other things too. At least five times a week I'd have to sit over the toilet, heaving and heaving until I coughed the food up. It never stuck in a dangerous position, but occasionally I wouldn't realize it, swallow something else, and it just simply wouldn't go down. Have a throat full of milk or food or water... and run with tearfilled eyes to the bathroom.
If I go without my medication for more than 2 days, I start to get food stuck in the throat again... and of course there's the waking up with burning acid filling my lungs x.X

I had reflux for a while before I got to see a doctor about it and was prescribed medicine for it. When I've got the medicine I forget how bad it gets when it runs unchecked. Sleeping lying down is impossible - the only way is to sleep sitting upright. In the time before I got medicine to control it I got very used to sleeping upright.

I had a lot of trouble swallowing food and drink for a long time and a few years down the line I had an x-ray done on my chest and it was discovered I had a benign tumour wrapped around my esophagus. It's been removed now and although I still have some trouble swallowing and I still got my reflux, it's a lot better than it was before.

Not good, I know what you mean.
