I had my ECG and Echocardiogram last week but no results as yet, this is how they work here in the UK, unless you go private they wont tell you anything till all tests are complete, unless of course its life threatening, now I get yet another letter saying the consultant wants me to have a ...

Lesley,
About a month ago I went to GP complaining of this chest pain, after exam he said it sounds like Chondritis but did send me to A&E they did ECG and blood tests and all were normal, but after my last post I received a letter from hospital to go this Thursday for a 24 hour ECG and then on ...

Thanks for your replies and suggestions,
Accupucture didn't seem to work for me when I tried it for back problems, I dont have much dairy but Tex - you could be right, I will give DF a try to see if things improve, at the moment Im just taking Co Codramol for the pain.

Hi,

Have you ordered meds before from India? I would be very careful, especially after seeing the latest news today about Prozac ordered from India being tainted with crystal meths among other things, the report showed the packaging was very flimsy wrapped in cling film and cardboard, personally I would ...

So sorry Joe, wishing you strength and healing, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for your good wishes,

Hi,

Thanks for your replies Tex,
I have decided to half the dose of Omerprazole and see what reaction I get, I see GI 18th July and will ask about taking H2 instead, its no use asking my GP to perscribe H2 now as he will just tell me to ask GI when I see him on the 18th.

Thats really interesting Tex,
I did have a SeHCAT test after the ulcer and constant D, the results were - bile acid malabsorption retention only 2%, so in my case I must produce to much bile acid, I will mention the H2 blocker to my GI, as its so worrying about the bad press i've heard of late on ...

I also have a malabsorbtion of bile acid and have had a duodenal ulcer, I take Omerprazole one 20mg in the morning, if I am late taking it I get a burning in my throat, even taking omerprazole for many years my recent Gastroscopy showed antral gastritis and patchy erythema to the duodenum, and was ...

Hang on in there, its rough when no one listens or understands, but they are very good listeners here, sometimes just talking helps a little,
your in my thoughts and prayers,
Marg
