I'm starting to wonder whether I have GERD. Blech. But it would explain a lot of things, like the burning in my chest and off-and-on sore throat and wheezing and coughing and trouble sleeping.
I think this makes me feel better, maybe? Having a reasonable explanation for things. But it means another appointment with another goddamn doctor. I should just go to med school myself -- it might be cheaper in the long run.
Posted by thevieve at August 1, 2007 11:39 AMI have acid reflux, it's awesome. I actually have it to the point where I have to re-live the experience of the meal I just ate. Wonderul. Really, it is. It helps to stay away from certain foods, like citrus, tomatoes, and, sadly enough, chocolate, and also beverages like coffee. Random stuff, like fries, also seem to be evil. Sometimes medication can help. I suggest seeing a doctor, they can prescribe something! Good luck, and sorry you are feeling so crappy :(
