i was on prevacid (30mg 2x a day) for about 8 years and got alot of benign polyps from it. the dr would take out some during endoscopies, but said they were harmless. i switched to protonix (a ppi)...
my new rheumy just diagnosed me with benign hypermobility syndrome. she said that this predisposes you to fibro, and thats probably one reason i got it (i got it right after mono) you can google it....
i just got hearing aids a few weeks ago. they said i was probably born with some of the hearing loss, but that it might have gotten worse over the years. the last full test i had was about ten years...

i took it for awhile, but not for ulcers. my doctor said it would coat my my stomach, to help it somehow. but, i didn't get any side effects from it, so that was good. i don't take it anymore. -Aliza...
thank you so much for your reply i don't eat red meat, since im a vegetarian, and my doctor didn't really tell me anything, other then to take the reglan. he didn't know why i have it, but i also...

im 19. i have another question. if you have colitis, will you always be able to see it in a colonoscopy, or just when you have blood will it show up? thanks -Aliza...
thanks so much. i'll probably wait the three weeks, since i just switched gastro doctors to my current one since i didn't like my last one, that lasted one visit. my insurance won't pay for a whole...

i feel like there is something in my throat, but my doctors say there is nothing there, but i am having an endoscopy next week for something else, so i guess they'll be able to see if there is...
hey! endoscopies aren't that bad, so don't worry about it. you're asleep for the whole thing. i've already have two, and a colonoscopy. im actually having another one next week, since i haven't felt...
i've had where part of my thigh just starts shaking, visibly. i guess its probably a muscle spasm, but i never really thought of that before. i always wondered why it does that, as people can see it...
i can't use a heating pad or a bed buddy, since as soon as they touch me, i scream from pain, since they're hot. im very sensitive, and they don't help at all, and they only make the pain worse....
i did a sleep test. it was in a hospital, but the room, was like a hotel room. The wires are annoying in the beginning, but i got used to them pretty quickly. maybe try getting less sleep the night...
yeah. I've been taking prevacid for 5 or 6 years now. In the fall, it seemed to just stop working. All of my gerd symptoms just came back. I thought too, that maybe i got used to it, and now it...
what side effects did you get from reglan? i took it for about a week, and i lost my hunger from it at least i think it was from that, my doctors are still trying to figure out what's wrong. -Alixs...

thanks. this is just the first thing that i've ever found to take away an amount of pain. nothing else has helped. also, my doctor told me it wasn't a narcotic, it just works like one, since he said...
im not sure if i spelled it right, but does anyone take it for the pain? my gastro prescribed it to me for some stomach pain, not related to the fibro. but, today, in class, i was able to write half...
my doctor said that i have a lot in my stomach, from taking prevacid for so long, but they aren't cancerous, so he only took out the biggest ones (3 cm.) and left the rest in my stomach. -Aliza...
yes, i have that problem too. hugs usually hurt me alot. Even if someone just taps my shoulder, that can hurt alot too. also, when i scratch an itch, it hurts. I guess we're just really, really,...
thanks. i asked my doctor, and he said that its perfectly safe to take (im suppose to take it 3 times a day), so i guess i'll go back on it. it's just strange that i haven't been hungry since i...
thanks. i think im going to call my doctor again tomorrow and see how safe he thinks it is, cause of its side effects and that its a black box drug, because it has a good chance of causing this...
i took reglan for four days last week. on the second day, i lost my appetite. since then, i haven't felt hungry and i feel like im stuffing myself every time i eat. my doctor said that it couldn't...
welcome!! i think it might be because people with fibro have less serotonin than normal, and these meds give you more serotonin. please correct me if im wrong. I just read that somewhere before, but...
my motivation is that i made a deal with my mom. the deal was that i exercise at least every other day (she and my doctor have been trying to get me to exercise forever), and then I get to try...
Austen, the brownies with applesauce are really good. when we have a family dinner, and there isn't enough time to make a dessert, I take a box of brownie mix and instead of oil, I use applesauce....
