So if you are an hour late for the Nexium you will not miss much.
Once you get on a schedule that new time will become your dose time.

You might think about whether you really NEED Nexium so much.
It also impairs protein digestion and when your protein goes down, your blood carrier proteins become impaired. Many hormones are carried by these proteins, including your levothyroxine.
I dont take Nexium on a regular basis. Although, the doctor says it has to be taken daily. I normally take it in the morning after Vit.B12 and R-Lipoic.

I really want to limit myself from taking drugs. But, sometimes even if I dont eat anything that I think it aggravates the acid, the reflux just happens.

Mrs. D, I am not taking anything for my osteoarthritis. My pinky has been swelling and all my fingers are really stiff in the morning and painful the whole day. I think my knees are also starting to hurt. Is there a supplement (other than Glucosamine) that I can take that would not interact with my other supplements?

Thank you Mrs. D.
