Hi Kay, I am sorry to hear your predicament. I too felt that way about 3 months ago. I thought I am on my way to insanity. I was a total wreck - most of the time psychologically. That dry, lump,...
Javery, is there an ebook version of that? I am interested to read and see from there. Thanks. Pie...
Hi Javery, I seldom eat meat now, mostly my diet is fish - fish is abundant here in the Philippines. For fruits i stay away from pineapple, oranges, and lemons, tomatoes, onions. I mostly have...
Hi Javery, Well, im not totally off medication either. I still take Tums or Gaviscon from time to time especially if there is some oil in the food that I ate. PPIs were horrible for me. I had...
Healing 98, thanks for the encouragement. Im still on my 7 weeks..Im glad to hear you are now in your 6th month without it. Cheers!...
Isnt that amitryptilyne is also anti-anxiety? if im not mistaken, one of the side effects of anti anxiety drugs is dry mouth/dry throat. Google.com was my sister during those "dark days"....
Yes, Migz, im taking the one in yellow container - that is pure aloe vera juice..Forever Living has other preparations to suit the taste of the consumers like aloe and cranberry. Are you still taking...

Hi all, I've been silent for almost a month now. I decided to stop taking PPI after almost 2 months of being on it. The reason is that the side effects are so sickening! I started by going on a half...
Hi Janet, Yes, there is a stigma attached to it. It would be unusual to be seen outside a psychiatrist's clinic. Filipinos do not go to a psychiatrist to seek advise for marriage or career. What is...
Hi all, I've been posting regularly at GERD forum but my cousin who is a doctor insisted that my symptoms are more of Anxiety-Panic Disorder. She's been through it, she claims and now knows how to...

that is good news! its still bothering me. How's your sleep? is it true that amitriptyline would really knock you off and you would feel groggy the following day? Who prescribed it? a...
Lacey, i think anything that has aspirin would just aggravate the feeling. I had a terrible headache last night and just took paracetamol for it. Had another restless night. Friday night and saturday...
Thank you all for your replies. I will be seeing my doctor this week. The thing is, i have been having irregular sleeping patterns. I was home almost 8pm after church last night so I had to wait...
Hi Migz..yeah, its normal. Felt that way too after the procedure. You will be fine, dont you worry. Do let me know how are you feeling with amitrypiline. Heard its actually an anti-anxiety drug but...

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I will try my best to beat this psychologically. I believe the psychological effect is harder to deal than the physical manifestations of the disease. May...
We have the same experience. Been diagnosed with GERD for more than a month now. Sometimes that something being stuck in your throat feeling disappears. I am keeping a log on my food intake but since...
Hi Alcie, Yeah, I have reflux going on. I am being treated for esophagitis and gastritis. There are days when I am okay and there are days when I am not. Like today, I have this something being stuck...

Hi buffychick, I've been on PPI for about 6 weeks now and the dry throat/lump in the throat feeling is still there. I have to bear with the nasty side effects too - a lot to enumerate. I wonder if...
Why 180 degrees turn? i am not my old self anymore. I have blurry vision, i am lethargic, I have difficulty falling asleep, there is the alternate diarhhea and constipation episodes, the...
I was not able to wait for November for the scope. I went to the ER on the night of November 5 and was admitted. I had not slept for 2 straight days and had severe constipation. I was given Iterax 25...
Hi all, I am reposting my first post below. I am sorry but I actually posted this as a reply to a thread on PPI and anxiety. I just learned yesterday that when you're new you should begin with a new...

Migz, Pie here. Go for half sedation. You will be half awake. Just be calm, i know it would be hard, i panicked when i felt the numbness after xylocaine (anesthesia) was sprayed. I thought I cannot...
Hi there, Its really the chicken and egg question - which comes first. In my case though, the anxiety began when the diagnosis was purely based on my symptoms presented. I know that I easily get...

Hi all, I will have my endoscopy two weeks from now. My doctor assured me that it will be fine. I told her i will surely panic. My sister and mother both underwent endoscopy and they also assured me...
