what the crap?

Ok, so maybe I'm an idiot, but I thought Prilosec and Prevacid (hello, it's in the name) did more than alleviate heartburn. I DON'T HAVE HEARTBURN. My fucking mid-section feels like someone is twisting it, HARD. Hence the ibuprofen. How the hell is heartburn medication supposed to help. I don't get it.

  1. you're not an idiot. my theory is that they just give us the heartburn meds because they don't know what else to do. after 11 years on them, my doc finally admitted to me that i should probably just stop taking them, as they've never helped and i never had "heartburn" to begin with.

    frustrating... hope you feel better!

  2. Apologies. I just saw this comment. But thank you. It's good to know other people get the same treatment. :} Hell, it's just good to have people to talk to about this. People who actually do understand.
