Well, apparently I have acid-reflux, but the doc was thinking it could be mild pleurisy . . . we are treating with Zantac (I think that was the name of it). I have read it's not a cure for acid-reflux, but anything to knock it off a bit would be nice. I think the real "cure" is to eat properly and not stress over stupid stuff (I eat okay, I rarely exercise, and I'm stressed over the move). I'm going to walk daily now, eat better, and pray/meditate more. I'll take the pills for ten days and if they work, great, but that's all I'm committed to. Oh, and reducing my coffee consumption to two cups a day. No more than that. Dawn, I hope that makes you proud! Friday, April 17, 2009
Thank You, Friends!

Glad you found something out. I have had this off and on so often...definitely stress related, but I knew it was also important that you go and look into it because some symptoms are so similar, they say.
Prayers continue.
Glad to hear it's not as bad as you had originally feared - it probably hurts to laugh too, I imagine. So here's your prescription - no CMR until Monday! I mean it - you might injure yourself!
why is it so easy to take care of others and so hard to take care of ourselves? this is the eternal mother question, isn't it?
i will pray that you make healthier choices.
and your girl is just darling...
so are you, but why are you hiding?
you have such GREAT skin!
come on, give us a smile...=)
Okay LarryD - I'll read a book Catholic Company sent me to review instead of checking out CMR. Good perscription, but I'll miss it!
Regan - this was the picture response to the one of you and your girl . . . plus, it sort of suited me today. GREAT skin? Bah! But, thank you dearie, for such a great compliment. HUGS!!
Thanks, Suz and Mimi - the prayers help!!!
Hang in there...Many times it words. Sorry 'bout the coffee! Wishing you the best and prayers to boot!! Cathy
So glad to hear you're okay! I hope you have a wonderful weekend :)
peek - a - BOO!
Yippee...glad to hear you are going to be OK.
Yikes...hit the chocolate if you can only have that much coffee.
I hope the Zantac works for you. I take Nexium once a day to keep my reflux at bay! Definitely DONT eat right before bed. I have to make sure I'm done eating by 6pm.
I know you're stressed about the move. I will keep you in my prayers, Sarah!
im glad it is not something more serious, but will pray that it eases!

Take it easy Sarah - pleurisy is so painful (so it could still be that?), and acid reflux hurts too!
Praying for a swift recovery. {{{hugs}}}
