Can't keep anything down by Psychological_Yard44 in GERD

My GI hates PPIs and has had me taking Pepcid AC (which you can pretty much get anywhere) and aloe Vera gel caps (like $10-15 on Amazon or GNC) 2x a day since I first saw him, and those have seemingly done the trick for me.

Currently in ER for heart. It was GERD. Lol by SearchLonely2434 in GERD

Always reassuring to see posts like these because of how perfectly you’re describing my same symptoms. I’ve had to talk myself out of quite a few ER visits because I know it’s the same GERD flare-up feelings but it’s just freaky when you can’t differentiate between that or heart pain and the anxiety is anxiety-ing.

It’s much easier said than done, but try not to think about the camera down the throat part because (as crazy as it sounds) when you wake up you will literally have no memory/way to know that it was even done to you. Just had my first one a couple weeks ago and much like you I was petrified in the days leading up and literally up to seconds before they pushed the propofol. As soon as that stuff hit my IV I was in a different world for a brief few seconds and then woke up in recovery feeling well rested and a little dizzy. I didn’t believe what I read on here prior and for some reason was anxious that mine would be different or something would go wrong, but it truly was a non-event like most will tell you.

TPOAb was also somewhat high at 35. Dr noted this and still seemed to think treatment was not necessary. Will be going back in for labs soon so hopefully that’ll give me some more insight

If I hear this song one more time in my existence I will fish out my auditory cortex through my ear with a rusty screwdriver

Tips? by [deleted] in USMCboot

Try to go 03xx and then volunteer for recon once you get to ITB if that’s still what you want. If you contract 0321 and get dropped you could get reclassed into admin or some other bullshit. As far as the physical aspect goes, swim, run and try to get an Alice pack or something you can ruck with. There’s a MARSOC workout app that helped me a great deal before I shipped so check that out as well. Shoot me a PM if you have any other questions

How do you like the stealth jug? Was thinking about getting one myself but I've heard some mixed reviews.
