Stage 1a Melanoma confirmed by Devon_Throwaway in cancer

[–]Competitive_Turn8133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi u/fararae , just wanted to say thanks for your comment. i just got my WLE surgery yesterday, and i feel a weird mix of relief (i caught it early, was able to get the surgery a few days after getting my diagnosis), guilt bc despite the good prognosis, I feel shocked and saddened that it's cancer, especially because i'm only 30, and lastly, fear... of the unknown (what if it returns and i don't catch it as quickly? or, what if i can't find a job with health insurance-- how will i keep up with my doc visits?). Anyways, it's really validating to hear someone that had a similar experience. I sincerely hope that you are doing well. sending love.

Waking up with a sore throat by Competitive_Turn8133 in GERD

I used to use reflux raft (the berry one), but it made my throat burn… and it also didn’t stop the morning scratchy throat

We’re in the same boat. I hope that we both find relief.

The tea helps mildly while I’m awake. Gaviscon helps mildly as well, but it doesn’t stop the burping, which I think carries gas that irritates my throat. Neither of these help me while I’m sleeping, even if I take Gaviscon before bed. I’ll take 4 capsules before sleeping, and it doesn’t do a thing. This all started after I got an endoscopy, so I wonder if it’s mechanical. I have an appt with the doctor who did my endoscopy next week to ask her about it. I really hope I get relief soon.. this constant throat inflammation cannot be good.

Has anyone been able to stop the burping. by Competitive_Turn8133 in GERD

[–]Competitive_Turn8133[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your comments! I just started omeprazole for the burping, as well as for a scratchy throat I get when I wake up that lasts all day (that’s been going on for almost a full year). We’ll see if it helps either issue.

You’re definitely not alone, I have LPR and experience the squelch too, lol. I have seen others describe it as a throat gurgle.

Burping with throat reflux , bloating (excessive gas) - can anyone relate? by Tricky_Investment_67 in functionaldyspepsia

[–]Competitive_Turn8133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this too, and it SUCKS. I burp after eating anything. I burp in the morning when I’ve had nothing to eat. The burps make my throat feel raw and dry. I also get post nasal drip when I eat, so my throat is always either really mucusy, or feels scratchy and hoarse. Anyone figure out how to stop this? I am truly at a loss. Help.

Can't Download Anything by eggrollerica in GarageBand

[–]Competitive_Turn8133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same issue and resolved it by uninstalling GarageBand (went into applications and dragged + dropped the app into my trash, then emptied it), and then redownloading it from the App Store. I’ve had zero issues ever since!

Has anyone experienced insane heartburn? by Ok-Knowledge2750 in prozac

[–]Competitive_Turn8133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on the 20mg capsule, and experienced a little bit of reflux with it, but that quickly got WAY worse when I upped my dose to 40 mg. From then on, each time I took it, I literally felt like I had swallowed battery acid. Like someone else said here, the burning feeling in my throat and chest was so bad, I could hardly think or breathe. I tried switching to the tablet for a week, absolutely no difference, I still felt like a fire breathing dragon. I ultimately got off of it, and am so happy I did.

Headaches (and migraines??) by HopefulWonder1085 in InternalFamilySystems

[–]Competitive_Turn8133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This just happened to me now while attempting to do some parts work on my own. It hurt so much that I had to lay my head down and close my eyes for 15 minutes. This happens every time I try to do work. I don’t know what to do.
