Hey it's great to hear from you again as well! I wondered what happened to you...Thanks so much for your input and support! I really appreciate it. The anxiety is difficult to deal with, and I just switched to a new therapist so hopefully it will help. My doc said if I lose any more weight, then she will definitely prescribe meds, so for now I will just wait to see how it goes. It's good to know that they seem to help people, since it is definitely a consideration for me right now.
About the GERD, that is really scary about your friend!! It's definitely better from the beginning of the week, so I think the Zantac is helping. Your experience with the PPI drugs is also very scary, thanks for letting me know about that. It seems like others on the board have had success with it, but I don't think I'm at the point where I need it anyways. Thanks also for the advice on the peppermint and antacids; I've definitely cut back on the peppermint. I know the aluminum antacids are bad, but I read that even the Calcium ones can lead to dangerous mineral imbalances so I am avoiding them for now. I'm so sorry to hear about your hiatal hernia, that sounds terribly uncomfortable!! Again, all of your info is MUCH appreciated, thanks so much for responding. How is school going for you? Are you surviving without the coffee ? I hope it's all going well, right now school is like the last thing on my mind but I am managing So nice to hear from you again, hope all is well!
