so what are you taking?

 

[Grace]

1. (took a whole one today whereas I usually take half of one once in a blue moon. RA was pretty bad).

3. Daily.

4. Daily.

6. Daily.

10. Daily.

 

[Si modo]

Nothing.

For the occasional headache, I'll take aspirin or ibuprofen - whichever bottle is easier to reach. Eh, took a few Tums the other day, too.

 

[Grace]

Wish I didn't have to take any of them, personally. Alas, I am doomed with high blood pressure, GERD and now RA. I miss doing what I used to do. But, that's life.

I take Lisinopril, I try not to take anything else but right now I have allergies. Worst time of the year for me.

That sucks. My Ma has that. She started a diet that is supposed to help so she can get off the meds.

 

[Grace]

It's not so bad now. I haven't had a soda pop in about 5 years, and I know my triggers so avoid those foods. The Omeprazole every morning helps, too. And I sleep in a reclining position, which also helps my back. If your Ma watches what she eats, she will do fine. Have her raise her bed about 6 inches too, where her head is. That helps a LOT.

That what she does now. Swapping junk food for fruit and flavored water for soda and wine has helped allot.

 

[Grace]

Fruit is one of my triggers
Even bananas. Weird, because nana's are not acidic.
I can eat chocolate, but not a lot of it. Each person has their own triggers. Takes time to figure out which one it is. I drink bunches of tea. Make a huge pitcher full of it. Sometimes the regular tea, sometimes green tea. Shove in kitchen and when I want something to slurp on, it's always there.
Tell her to hang in there. I'm rootin' for her. Did she raise her bed? If not, tell her to prop lots of pillows so she is slightly raised. Acid can't come up if it's laying low in her belly due to incline of her chest on up. Loose clothes too. Can't bind so the stomach squirts up acid.
Best thing for me was the purple pill (nexus I think it was called), but it was too expensive. So I started the prilosec, which is also expensive. So I went with generic omeprozole and that works just fine if I take it every morning with my DECAF coffee. No caffiene. Google for recipes for her or a GERD Diet Plan. There are food triggers in there too that she might relate to.

....

Yep


Fruits oughta keep to themselves, and stop drawin' so much attention.
