But over the past year while on Arava, I had it so bad I was throwing up. I have Prilosec when it gets bad. I don't take it everyday, only when I need it. It has been since December that I got sick bcs of it. That was awful! ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted April 28, 2000 Hi , Don't mean to butt in like this, but GERD is gastro-espohagus (sp?) reflux disease (basically acid reflux). I did not realize that this could be a part of Sjogren's! Interesting! Do you suffer from this then? Hugs, Sandy Hi , What is GERD? I read that with Sjogren's you can have it but not even realize it bcs the symptoms aren't bothersome enough to notice them. I asked my doc at one point about that and he said that SS just goes along with RA sometimes. I am beginning to think EVERYTHING goes along with having RA! ~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get paid for the stuff you know!

Guest guest Report post Posted November 16, 2000 a, I am so sorry to hear about 's tripping incident. Sounds like a few of my mishaps as a teen. My Mom tried and tried to get 'my limitations' clear to me, but I always pushed and it wasn't until I was about 27 that I started to listen to my Mom AND myself! My Mom was always 'there' for me, in everything.Reassuring me I wasn't a geek, pushing me out the door to school, etc. Fortunately when I was 14 I was riding alot and just going to SEE the horses made me happier. So sometimes mid-week we drove out to the stables. Another really neat thing my Mom did was get tickets to all kinds of plays and she took me to them. I really liked that. I guess that all was a 'diversion' tacit of sorts, but it did help me during rough times. ~ Gretchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted September 17, 2006 Have moved to TorC, NM to escape the mold on the east coast, to find the worst rain in 100 years- county declared a disaster area- mold plumes everywhere, house untenable -has stopped raining now- and hope after the spoalation is over- I may be able to live here-I get sick so fast from the smallest amount of mold- have been trying to buy a safe travel trailer- expensive and they probably leak. > without > > your input, I would see no way out.
