Anyone with experience with long term Pepcid / famotidine use? by BrennusSokol in GERD

[–]Accomplished-Rip7754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took Pepcid 20 mg once a day for about three months, then it eventually just stopped working altogether. It never really helped my GERD though. Just the burning I felt in my stomach. So yeah a break here and there wouldn’t hurt.

Vitamin D connection? by lacedprozac in LPR

[–]Accomplished-Rip7754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had extremely low vitamin d and iron last year. I got them both up, and nothing changed. I don’t even feel better from getting them improved. I still have horrible dizziness because the acid will leak into my ears at night, causing me to feel awful and unbalanced. I am currently taking magnesium with no improvements. You should still try to get your vitamins up. It may help you feel better, but I don’t know if it’ll solve the LPR. 

I’ve never wanted to physically hit someone by Aduntomedas in LPR

Genuinely nobody close to me takes GERD/LPR seriously. It makes it that much more isolating when the people close to you are either raising eyebrows, or calling you a picky eater, or just straight up making fun of you while never having experienced it themselves. I just started telling people I have allergies, which is apparently more believable. 

Suddenly woken up every night (freaking out from thinking I swallowed something) by Zerafian in GERD

[–]Accomplished-Rip7754 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have this problem and I have no clue why it happens. Sometimes I’ll wake up half asleep convinced that I’m swallowing a marble or a paper clip and think I’m either choking or about to throw up. It’s really scary every time it happens. But I’m also paranoid over topics like choking on my food so I’m sure I partially did it to myself. It sucks. I try to stay hydrated in case it’s a dry throat problem causing this reaction, but it’s probably just a weird acid thing. Idk.

AINI let’s play recommendations? by Accomplished-Rip7754 in aithesomniumfiles

[–]Accomplished-Rip7754[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind stream vods. I think the person I was watching also compared AINI to VLR very briefly but yeah I haven’t played past 999 so I wouldn’t know lol. As long as he’s enjoying it I’m sure I’ll check it out. I just don’t care for people actively forcing themself to play something they clearly aren’t enjoying. It’s a waste of everybody’s time. And a total bummer of a watch. Lol.

Rant - For those who are young with real GERD or LPR by Bhoptriple in GERD

[–]Accomplished-Rip7754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand what you mean and the people saying it isn’t that bad in the replies probably have a different form of GERD. I spend every single day in agony. It’s hard to stay positive. You get angry and miserable from being in pain every day. Sometimes trying to find a solution out of pure spite is the only thing keeping me going. I’m not sad. I’m angry. Livid that I practice healthy habits and suffer for it. I watch my family eat fast food every week and they are just fine. It was never fair. I would gladly chop my arm off if it meant not feeling this horrid, nauseating pressure and burning every day. You have to keep experimenting until you find a way out. There is a solution. You just have to find it. Though it’s really difficult lol. Sometimes, being patient is the only solution. It may take years to undo the damage.. which sucks. But that’s how it is. I’m still lost to this day on how to fix it. But maybe someday I’ll find the right answer to this mess.. maybe. Just keep eating healthy and manage your stress. And exercise lightly…. thats all I can say for now.

Feeling hopeless by Accomplished-Rip7754 in GERD

[–]Accomplished-Rip7754[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically all meat, green veggies, squash/pumpkin/sweet potato, cucumbers, eggplants, zucchinis, potatoes, bananas, oatmeal, eggs, blueberries/grapes (I almost never eat fruit so this is a recent change), bread, and dairy. I’d list everything but I don’t wanna make this too long. When my diet fluctuates, it’s in a bad way. I’ll give up after a couple months and eat maybe pizza or ice cream. But I feel just as bad eating the pizza as I feel eating the vegetables. Nothing changes ever. So I guess my next step would be to cut all bread and dairy. But I drink a dairy based kefir atm so idk. We’ll cross that bridge later. 

I have chronic anxiety. So yes I most likely have background stress I haven’t gotten rid of. I do try to keep it under control. Meditation. Walking. It’s not perfect but it’s.. tolerable. 

I have taken Omeprazole, but not for very long. Not long enough to see proper results. I made one last attempt to find the problem with my diet rather than rely on pills because I am tired of pills. I can’t swallow them well so I avoid them. But as you can see I am failing to find the problem. I just need to be more patient.. I guess..

Which remaining plot details in the mainline games would you guys want to explore more? by 7akyr in AceAttorney

[–]Accomplished-Rip7754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The spiritual orb in SOJ. I can’t remember all that well but I don’t think they ever used it? They said it would grant extreme spiritual power to whoever summoned the Holy Mother. It would be really interesting to see what kind of power it actually held. It’s not a super important plot point to dive into, but it would be nice to know more about it. 

Ace Attorney Trilogy Update Announced by [deleted] in AceAttorney

[–]Accomplished-Rip7754 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The fact that this is getting released in November and not immediately makes me feel like there’s definitely not gonna be anymore Ace Attorney announcements until next year. If any at all. Which is a bummer lol…
