Has anyone used this supplement? It is supposed to help Arthritis and other problems. I think it is a replacement for anti-imflamatory drugs (otc or otherwise)....
I use requip and love it! I do not use it every day, only when I need it. It works within 15 minutes. Some days I use 2 tablets. My doc prescribed 1 1/2 tabs a day. I don't like to take meds every...
I have had GERD for over 20 years. Over the years, I have taken, Prilosec and, most recently Nexium. I seldom have burning now. I do get what feels like a bubble in my esophagus. It hurts, but does...
Thank you lanieG. I thought I would let you all know that I did learn something from this forum. In reading past posts, I found one from Sarita that reads in part, "Your heart has four chambers. I...
To Selmer -How do you know what kind of diet I have been on? I think that your condescending response is unwarranted. As far as I know there is a right and left ventricle in the heart. There is no...
I have been having very bad shortness of breath lately. It is so bad that I can’t walk from the house to the mail box without stopping half way to catch my breath. It has gotten worse in the past...
In 2000 I had two stents put in because of blocked arteries and was diagnosed with arteriosclerosis. I was told January of 2006 that I only have partially blocked arteries. This was done with the...
How does anyone ever know whether these things help? I took statins for years and had clogged arteries anyway. I had 2 stents put in. If I had not taken statins would I have had the same thing done...
I have not had the surgery. I did talk to a doc at Shands teaching hospital in Gainsville FL. He told me that if I was lucky, Nissen surgery would last 5 years. After that, they usualy fail and...
I woke up about midnight with a terrible "bubble" in my chest. I thought I would die with pain. I have had this before and it was a bad heartburn gas attack. I had no other symptoms, so it was not...
When I get heartburn, it hurts like a heart attack. My chest hurts very bad. It is like a basket ball has been blown up in my chest. It comes on very sudden and is very painful. It used to be like...
Back when I was still smoking, I tried hypnosis to make me stop smoking. It did not work. I am sure the Sarno method would not work on me. The guy who tried to hypnotize me was a quack, so is Sarno....
I use Gaviscon to releive the chest pains from acid reflux. Sometimes I have to take as many as 5 to do the trick. If I'm lucky, and catch it real early, eating a small amount helps; like a pudding...
Anyone have Laparoscopic Anti-Reflux surgery for heartburn? My doctor is recommending I go to Gainesville Florida (from Cocoa FLorida) to have this done. The web site for RSAPCI explains it very...
I don't know what "too little acid" means. I take Papaya to prevent acid reflux or to releive the burning if acid does reflux (like at night). I would not be able to tell if I had too little acid....
Papaya Enzyme tablets!! I have been on two 40mg Nexium each day for over 5 years. In January, I started getting realy, realy bad heartburn. I couldn't sleep because of it. I actualy coughed so hard...
Well, am I surprized. I thought it was papaya extract, but instead it is papaya enzyme. One ingredient is Papain, another is papaya fruit. I stand by everything else I said. It is GREAT!...
Mexican food does me in. If I eat too much, I pay big time for it, especially if it has some spice to it....
