Woke up this morning with heartburn again.

I've been on Omaprazole for 6 weeks and I took my last tablet on Friday. Today being Sunday it looks like I still need to be on them. Going to get an appointment tomorow and see what the Doctor says. He seemed to think that putting me on them for more than two weeks would give me body a chance to heal.

Once I move I will be changing my lifestyle anyway - I know it's not been healthy since I moved into the pub. And I know lifestyle changes do have an affect on GORD.

But in the meatime I am in a lot of pain. It's very debilitating and it's making me thoroughly miserable.

Is this an acid/histamine blocking drug Sundae? If so, they are known to create dependency ie. you will experience painful withdrawal symptoms.

Doctors over here hand them out like candy... helps build their practice and gets them lots of free lunches - a win-win [/cynic]

Spelled it wrong - it's Omeprazole. It's not for my allergy (which went down in the end) it's for heartburn. It's a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) and as far as I know there are no side effects to coming off it - except that the original problem resurfaces.

I didn't wake up with heartburn today, so I've held off making an appointment.

I found a lump in my breast. I am going to ignore the hell out of it. At least until I get the guidelines on my husbands at work health coverage for me. I just read that only 1 out of 5 lumps are cause for alarm. I have good odds here.

Aah! baaah! I don't even have a coverage card in yet, and already trouble.

Not that you can't do this yourself...There was someone looking...I think this is your area? Or close mebbe?

Sorry UT. I have been laid off a lot lately because of the disposable market, and the best thing I know to do is get right back up on the horse. Don't let this get you down.

This may be an asset and opportunity to move on. Just get out there asap and you might find that it was advantageous in the end. It sucks, I know....You are definitely hireable, and might find a better situation elsewhere.

Anyone of any worth would be pleased to have you on their team. I know this doesn't make up for how crappy you probably feel, so I'll wrap this up. I'll try to send some of my limited amount of good vibes your way. heh.

Sorry to hear that UT - you are definitely a marketable commodity and will assuredly land on your feet soon. Well wishes headed your way.

Oh, that bites, Toad! I am sorry to hear it. I may be able to help you find something remote from here. I will definitely ask around.
