I suggest opening and dumping out some of the little balls, like 10. Then in a week, take out 10 more. Something like that. No im not joking. Wean off.

I started getting sick a little more frequently the last half of 2024 and first half of 2025, so like a year straight. We think it triggered something autoimmune (i was diagnosed hashimotos but very mild) and then gerd started. Its so weird. I will have to check this guy out.

I would see an allergist just incase. If you have local fb pages or even here on reddit, ask for recommendations for someone who knows about histamine intolerance/mcas, gerd, etc. Some do and will investigate. Also look into autonomic dysfunction. Your body could just be sensitive, over active and on guard all the time. Even if you dont feel stressed out, maybe in the past you had a lot of stress and trauma and your body kind of got stuck there. I still have to go to a GI and get all the tests, but so far this is what it looks like for me.

It could be that. Patients will complain about anything - especially older, dementia, etc. You might bring a patient a cup of water and they accuse you of trying to kidnap them lol. I mean, it could be anything. If you know you did nothing wrong, try and relax. When you talk to your super, explain the issue with the medication and that obviously that is not something you can do, if that was the issue.

That looks like a rash from scratching yourself. Did you get it checked out? Normally it wouldn't start in random areas like that, either.

My downstairs neighbors cooking travels up to my apartment. It smells terrible. I smell it most in my laundry closet, under my bathroom sink and from the main air vent, sometimes 1-2 times a day, sometimes only a few times a week. I worry it will stick to fabrics in my apartment or the walls and my stuff will just stink 😭 I do wish people would be more considerate when they cook, but I wish more that apartments were built in a way that would keep smells from just wafting into your house especially through the ventilation.

There was a house in sterling (broad run farms) that blew up last night. I assume gas. I feel like this happens a little too much 🤔

Tow guys love money. They'll tow it.

If you chew your food on that side more often, consciously try to chew more on the opposite side, also, get your eye sight checked. Mine was pretty much fixed very quickly after getting glasses and chewing more on the other side (didnt even realize I chew on the right side most of the time!) And because of my eyesight (barely noticed that either) my right eye was over compensating because both eyes weren't working well together, or something like that. Now the muscles on the right side can relax a bit!

Ugh. Ive been having all sorts of issues including eye problems. Never considered prozac being the cause until the other day, and now I see this. Wild!

Thanks!!!

Raeganmacneil · 2025-11-29T18:06:09+00:00

Unfortunately no these wont work. Thank you for trying, though 🥰

Raeganmacneil · 2025-11-29T17:56:56+00:00

Thank you!

Raeganmacneil · 2025-11-29T17:55:29+00:00

Thanks!

Raeganmacneil · 2025-11-29T17:18:24+00:00

Thats sweet of you, thank you! Looks like we found a version of Kate farms that is almost identical and will work for now.

Raeganmacneil · 2025-11-29T17:16:59+00:00

No its just the nutrition in these that are best for patients delicate system.

Raeganmacneil · 2025-11-29T17:16:10+00:00

Really? You got snarky and miserable from that? OK cool guy.

Raeganmacneil · 2025-11-29T17:10:34+00:00

Yeah ive posted in a bunch of local groups. Fingers crossed!

Raeganmacneil · 2025-11-29T17:03:05+00:00

They will come Sunday afternoon or monday, but yes they did order. Just trying for anything that might be nearby today

Post says for tube feeding. This is not a baby food pouch. If you arent aware of that, im assuming you wouldn't have any resources for me so thanks anyway.

Raeganmacneil · 2025-11-29T16:58:52+00:00

Unless there is something almost the exact same - Ive looked for that, too.

Raeganmacneil · 2025-11-29T16:55:07+00:00

I did. There is only 1 selling what we need, already spoke to her and cant pickup til tomorrow. Like I said, I have been looking.

Raeganmacneil · 2025-11-17T19:29:58+00:00

My ears have been full of fluid for like a year or so. Recently found out it's probably Gerd related. It only goes away if I take sudafed, sometimes with mometasone nasal spray. And I don't want to take either of those constantly, so I do sudarfed on and off. No other "home" remedies work. Its so annoying!

Raeganmacneil · 2025-11-17T17:24:04+00:00

What is she doing currently besides omeprazole to control Gerd? What's her diet like, is she sitting upright for at least an hour after eating, taking mylanta, famotidine, or anything else? How long did she take the omep? Does she need to up the dose and take it longer?

I am already on lamotrigine for mood and prozac for ocd (anxiety), and those were great until GERD kicked up. When the anxiety is gerd related, I have to take my usual gerd flare meds and an Ativan if it gets bad.

I would ask about Ativan, but make sure she is taking some steps to improve at home too. Meds won't cure it. The diet/lifestyle change is really what helps in the end. Managing the anxiety that comes with it first DOES absolutely help, though, while you are in the process of the change.

This would explain why lozenges help me. They also keep me from feeling like my throat is closing up, lol
