wendy-
Thanks for asking. The short answer is weird. I have simultaneously had the best and worst weeks in a long time. Lost a day to achalasia (your esophagus clamps down and you cannot swallow. Lots of fun.) Traumatic and takes a couple of days to rise from the ashes. Hadn't had a problem with it in a year or so (I credit the use of ginger.) But I stopped it last week to test some of this new stuff and it snuck up on me. I am resuming in earnest now and will post from time to time.

The vinegar works (for me at least) as a pretty good "turnaround" and cuts the wait time for a pill in half.
