my reflux has now gotten to the point where even drinking liquids will make me feel like i have something caught in my esophagus that i just can’t swallow down. i am starting to get just the slightest amount of discomfort in my chest—can’t quite call it pain. even without the pain, i am probably more miserable with my reflux than i have ever been—-i guess because the pain was only sporadic and this “stuck” sensation is there so much of the time. i finally broke down and had my prevacid filled again, but i find it difficult to take it first thing in the morning and then have to wait to take any food—especially since the painkillers i take seem to work a little better with food—and i take the pain killers almost first thing when i get up. i have heard differing opinions from docs as to whether or not the prevacid will affect how i absorb my other meds—you know, lack of stomache acid. i am also taking naproxene, which seems to be killing my stomache. i am wondering if it could be making the reflux worse since the naproxene will burn my throat sometimes if i don’t swallow it quick enough. i know this is just a whiny post.
sylvia is not sleeping particularly well tonight. she seems to be sick to her stomache. she has been wretching. it always makes me a tad nervous when she wretches. i worry about her wretching too much because the surgeon told us that wretching can undo the fundo. i gave her a rectal suppository for nausea—don’t think she was particularly thrilled with that, but she was too sleepy to put up a fight. i guess she is old enough that i could ask for something to give her orally for nausea.
