So today proceeds apace.

I am looking forward to this evening, because the 'rents will be out bowling, and I will have the house to myself.

Also, re: sleeping--I swear I will go to bed (and here's the kicker) FALL ASLEEP at a reasonable hour tonight.

Fucking heartburn.

That is all.

*shares ranitid- ranito- THING. THAT IS ZANTAC. I SHARE*



I had wretched heartburn the last 2 days or so and had to go out and buy some last night. My body THANKS ME TODAY.

*hugs*

I think I need to make a doctor's appointment.

This is getting ridiculous.

I know I'm sure I've asked you this before, but my brain = swiss -- have you tried OTC stuff?

[varadia]

I . . . do not recall you asking me. But no.

I also have swiss cheese brain, so.

What stuff is out there?

[darthrami.livejournal.com]

I use ranitidine, and that's basically generic Zantac. I find it really helpful for heartburn and acid reflux, as well as general icky belly type feeling stuff. There's also Prilosec type stuff, which is more expensive and takes longer, and works in a different way than the Ranitidine that Selkie could probably explain to you but I can not. And, of course, there's always Tums. But I swear by Ranitidine -- it usually comes in 75mg tablets, when it's bad I take 2 or 3, though.

[varadia]

Yeah, I've been using generic antacids.

Um. Every day.

Usually about eight of them spread out over the day.

I'm getting sick of it.

Prilosec, I thiiiink is the one my mom took before it was OTC, and it is mostly an acid inhibitor, I think, which prevents your stomach from producing acid. I think. Do not quote me. Hmm. I shall look into this rantidine stuff, I think.

Because really, enough is totally enough.

Indeed. I take Ranitidine, and so does Heater, and that's what Bing's doctor prescribed for her, too. So it's worth a try, at least, before shelling out the $$ for a doctor?

[varadia]

Gooood plan.

*carries it out, post-haste*

Thanks!
