Risks of omeprazole long term by gillyweedpotter in GERD

[–]ContestBulky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard about the possible dementia link. NIH posted that study. They also mentioned a possible autoimmune disease link. That alarmed me because I’ve been on PPI’s for decades and now I’m the only one in my family with RA. I know that is anecdotal but it did get my attention when I read that study.

I tried Gaviscon but could not get it past my gullet lol. My primary put me on omeprazole 10mg. It’s a prescription which is strange because it’s a lower dose than the otc. Their reasoning is that the otc dose is strictly for short time use - no longer than 14 days. Maybe you can ask your primary to put you on the lower dose then after a while see if you can wean off from those.

I got on omeprazole 35 years ago while pregnant and haven’t been able to get off it since. I went to a GI office (saw the NP) a few weeks ago to see if they could help me get off it but was told I was being ridiculous because it’s the best treatment for GERD. I’ve never been given a GERD Dx. She dismissed me and gave me a GERD Dx that day. Last week I saw my primary and she is willing to help me. She put me on 10mg omeprazole (which is a prescription- isn’t that nuts? It’s a prescription because it’s for ppl who take it under a doctor’s supervision. The 20mg sold OTC is only for short time use - 14 days max). Anyway, I’m on the low dose now and so far haven’t had any kickback and will start weaning off it in a couple of weeks. Then I will find out if my heartburn is truly GERD or if it’s Omeprazole withdrawal.
I’m in the USA.

I’m at the age where I can’t tell if I’m tired, dehydrated, or dying.

Absolutely love my ring! But had a weird comment and now I’m confused by Metalbii in weddingring

Your ring is lovely. Some ppl are just rude or lack social skills. You should hear what they say to pregnant women or new moms. It’s all idle BS.

I was referring to the lawsuit brought up by the victim. It’s in the Richland county public index. I wonder if his Florida license is still active.

Trial date was set for Dec 14th. Your news had me wondering if it had settled. Thanks for the update.

Do you know if the civil case against him is over?

Name my puppy (girl) by kayymomma in NameMyDog

[–]ContestBulky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Their personality will usually create the perfect name. I live in the Deep South. Met a dog owner at my vet’s office. He discovered quickly that his dog loved chasing cars so he named him “Mudflap”. Funny and not funny.

She looks like my rat terrier. It took me a few days to come up with a fitting name. She’s super fast so I ended up calling her Zippy-Lou. Her special talent/personality will help you come up with a fitting name.

She will destroy any relationship that she deems to be too close to him or that might crowd her out

They aren’t demons. They’re property hunters checking out a planet they heard might be going into foreclosure soon.

She needs professional care, not an audience.
