[p.s. to this:\u00a0 I did get myself some more Tagamet.\u00a0 It works.\u00a0 And I’m trying to not do so much snacking.]<\/p>\n
I didn’t get much sleep last night.\u00a0 My stomach was hurting because I ran out of Tagamet.<\/p>\n
I have problems with my stomach hurting when it is empty, particularly at night.\u00a0 I get a lot of acid reflux when I lie down.\u00a0 A year ago I was trying to keep it under control by taking a spoonful of lemonade before I went to bed, and not eating in the evening.\u00a0 That was reasonably effective.\u00a0 I talked to my doctor about it and he also suggested a pro-biotic pill.<\/p>\n
I did the pro-biotic and lemonade for awhile but the effect didn’t improve.\u00a0 So then I went to generic Pepcid pills and they weren’t very effective.\u00a0 I tried this generic Tagamet and it seems to do the job.<\/p>\n
The labels on these things, both the Pepcid and Tagamet, say that you shouldn’t use them as a long term solution.\u00a0\u00a0 So I ran out yesterday and decided to try one night without it.\u00a0 It wasn’t a success.<\/p>\n
My stomach also hurts when it is full, like about an hour after I eat.\u00a0 The only time I feel good overall is when I am munching on something.\u00a0 So I do a lot of snacking on saltine crackers and similar stuff.\u00a0 But that has me gaining weight.\u00a0 I’m at least 20 lbs over what I want to be.\u00a0 My adult minimum was 50 lbs south of here.<\/p>\n
So I’ve been doing both the Tagamet and the munching;\u00a0 I’m really messed up now!<\/p>\n
I went to the doctor about this a few years ago and he said I needed to lose weight.\u00a0 (thanks for the newsflash buddy!)\u00a0 And a different doctor, my recent regular guy, seemed to think that one Pepcid\/Tagamet a day wasn’t a bad price to pay.<\/p>\n
I also notice that some particular foods I eat cause me trouble.\u00a0 Garlic, peppers, onions, are all no good.\u00a0 Spicy food.\u00a0 Bread has been on my suspicion list and I’m starting to wonder about dairy.\u00a0 I’m burpy all of the time.\u00a0 I burp when I get out of bed in the morning(!), what’s with that?<\/p>\n
The Tagamet has helped my throat feel better.\u00a0 I don’t have the swallowing problems I was having there for awhile.\u00a0 So if I don’t get throat cancer from acid reflux, that’s a good thing.<\/p>\n
This past weekend we had a big project at the office and I’ve been working 10-12 hours a day since then trying to fix all of the stuff I broke.\u00a0 I haven’t had time to do the munching, which is good.\u00a0 And I haven’t been eating in the evening, also good.\u00a0 But my stomach hurts and I’m not very happy about it.\u00a0 I need to go buy some more generic Tagamet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
