I have ocular migranes at times as well. I'm 45 and have finally figured out what seems to be my trigger...my swinging and off hormones, specifically Testosterone. When my levels are stable, no...
I have had something similar for quite some time. My right temple and corner of my eye have a tingle, and it sometimes radiates back along to above my right ear. Sometimes it feel like a sunburn,...
I've been dealing with a weird nerve tingle (like a funnybone kinda) in my right temple. Sometimes in my right eyebrow and eyelid too. Some days my temple feels warm and "burning" as well. It often...
Closet, What EXACTLY are you eating? If it's anything processed, or sugary carbs (reg noodles, reg bread, rice, etc) you are doin it wrong. Are you eating 100% whole wheat bread? Keep in mind a lot...
I got off Nexium as well. Was on Nexium 40 mg. reduced to Nexium 20 for a while then just Zantacs (1/day) after that, and eventually no meds. It took me 3 months or so. For me, I DID have high acid,...
Side note: today I'm at about 6 days from having any artificial sweeteners. I've got to say...I feel WAAAAY better! I hope that was the cause and I've found it. The first 72 hours w/o any artificial...
Thank you. Anyone else notice a correlation with artificial sweeteners and headaches? The reason I ask is that everything I read on the internet says "more research required" and "no definative...
Has anyone with migraines or headaches tried cutting all artificial sweeteners? And if so, did you notice any changes or improvement? I'm on my 1st day without any artificial sweeteners and I believe...
I stopped Nexium 40 cold turkey after being on it for over a year. It was rough going. Milk, licorice, lots of aloe juice, diet change, tums all helped but not entirely. A reduced dose of Nexium 20...
Men or women...it doesn't matter! I too found that hormones have played a huge part of my headaches and auras as I push through testosterone replacement therapy. Please have your hormones checked,...
Mine are related to my low testosterone as best as we can find. Please please have your hormones checked as I TRUELY believe that is the issue for me....
I get visual migrane aura from time to time as well. For me...they seemed to be directly related to hormone swings as I am undergoing Testosterone Replacement Therapy. I seem to note more ocular...
Sounds like what I have, low T. Seriously, check it out, it sounds hormonal and I had some similar sx....
No dysplasia is a good thing! Good for you! That's what they told me when they found my small BE. Proper healing of the esophagus will take some time and it can be done! If it wasn't mentioned above,...
Alcohol was a trigger for me...so that's pretty much gone for me now. I haven't really found any concrete trigger foods for myself other than that, but I have been skipping simple carbs and spices...
Yeah, thanks for reviving this old but good thread. When my GERD was its worst a few years back, I was having Palps and it was pretty scary. In retrospect, as I've attacked my GERD with meds and...
Hey there. Sorry for your issues. Do you know how big the BE is? Perhaps it's small. As well, how developed is it? It can be treated and there are some good threads around here that talk about it...
I just thought I'd add that I have had a fair bit of headaches over the past year too, some with visual aura or spots. HAVE YOU HAD YOUR HORMONES CHECKED!? For me, it turns out after months of...
I just saw the other old post and it reminded me that I should post my good news here as well. I received the news of my second EGD yesterday and things are looking up! The bottom line is that I...
I used a nice App on my iPad that you input a ton of info into every day or everytime you have a GERD symptom. That helped me identify triggers and such. The App is pretty cool as after awhile it can...
I don't have any of your symptoms, however for me...aloe juice seemed to really help sooth and cool my esophagus. Maybe try that (nothing to lose, it's natural!) and see if it helps....
It shouldn't. My GI doc says to take it 1 hour before a meal....
Sorry about your issues. For me, anxiety is my 'key trigger' for stomach acids and GERD. I have too much acid normally, but any anxiety makes it way worse. Have you looked into ways to reduce...
I recently learned that sauerkraut and pickles both have effects like probiotics. I wonder if there is any link? I know probiotics really helped stabilize my system, but I didn't see too much acid...
I drink a few ounces of Aloe Juice (all natural, organic, non-processed stuff) and that seems to help me. It seems to coat and cool things and I've noticed good results with it. Maybe give that a...
Seems that a lot of doctors like to go straight to the "big guns" when tackling these sorts of issues. Mine did the same thing...and it really helped fight back the symptoms and make me feel better...
I am weaning off PPIs and it's not so fun. I have found that aloe juice is really helping, along with Michaels Anticids (Licorice/Fennel). http://www.michaelshealth.com/retail/products/antisidtm.html...
Yes. After 10 mo of taking Nexium 40mg, I have recently had a bunch of side effects that I believe are due to non-mineral absorption. Dizziness & exhaustion being the main symptoms. A week after...
I just stopped my Nexium for some weird side effects I was having. Since quitting, I feel waaaay better. Maybe see about lowering the dose or changing meds?...
I'm sorry for your husband's discomfort/pain and problems. Has he tried any natural remedies and avoidance strategies? For me, avoiding spices, onions, peppers and alcohol really improved things....
I sometimes get 'mild discomfort' not pain, in my upper intestines or horizontally across my upper abdomen. I have found that plenty of water and lightly massaging it helps. I think, for me, it's the...
Thank you. Yes, I'm going to see what my Doc says about trying a different PPI. I have another scope coming up to check the status of the burning and Barrett's. If it looks okay or better, maybe the...
I know there is a thread here about one person's trouble with ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar). I am sorry for that person's pain and discomfort. /community/emoticons/sad.gif But I have been doing a lot of...
I was on it for a few months then my Doc switched me to Nexium (similar, right?) after a scope revealed HH, damage to lower esophagus and the start of Barretts E. For me, the Nexium really helped. I...
Hi guys, First time poster here. Hoping to learn a little and contribute too. /community/emoticons/smile.gif Background: I've been suffering from mild stomach issues most my life, typically due to...
