I was so hungry I got grouchy when my blood sugar drops.
next time I get up that early I will eat something, like a piece of toast!:rolleyes:

I have been eating and drinking so much that I have had major heart burn and it has kept me up the past few nights wanting to throw up it was so bad.
Hardly got any sleep last night, crazy today.
I am not going to drink anymore.
I started taking nexium today but that can take up to 4 days to work so I am chewing on tums and gaviscon and they are helping. I ate such a big lunch and then drank coffee and got heart burn right away.....It is finally becoming clear that I have a problem with this now when I did not before...so I don't know what is different. Maybe because it am 56 years old????

ginger tea or chamomille tea might

I decided to go the zantac route instead of the nexium which has some warnings/lawsuits going on. That is what jeff takes. He only takes it in the morning. I would probably take it twice a day.
I took my first dose before dinner and then take it before lunch.
Ate dinner a reasonable amount. 6 oz of salmon and half cup of brussel sprouts and half a cup of beets. I am not overly full but satisfied. This is how we ordinarily eat dinner. I have huge lunches....need to tell them to give me smaller portions.....I promise I won't bore you with any more details or followup info.

Since I decided to take the medicine...
it should be a no brainer now/non-issue.

Woke up multiple times last night but slept off

and on so I feel rested today, finally.
Restarted the zyprexa and I think that is what

allowed me some sleep. (plus I did not over eat nor did I drink)

I had hoped that the melatonin would

have helped me....and hoped that the

benadryl would have been enough....but it was not.
My rosacea is better. Think I will go back to using

my benzol peroxide wash/product, instead of the

black seaweed soap, which I think is too drying.
I am taking antibiotics, 2 facial creams for mites

which can be the cause of my rosacea outbreak.

Yuck!
Need to do laundry today, just one load...my scrubs.
We will go to the hub city diner for brunch in a bit...
need to get going.

Hey, we can be laundry buddies today! :)

I’m sorry about the heartburn, Bizi. That feels awful (((HUGS)))
Zantac is a good med, and has less side effects than the PPI’s. I hope it helps. And I love Gaviscon.

I ended up with an ulcer several years ago from preexisting acid reflex problems and heavy drinking. I don’t drink anymore, and no longer have the ulcer, but I still have issues, which prescription Protonix helps with a lot.

I hope you start sleeping better after a couple more nights on the Zyprexa :hug::hug::hug:

And I hope that going back to your old routine helps with your Rosacea (((HUGS)))

Good luck to you Bizi

I hope things start looking up in the health area.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Kay, shouldn't the acid reflux go away if I take the zantac 2times a day or can you still get break thru heart burn? Is that what you were experiencing and is that why you are on protonix?
