Re: Acid Reflux(something new)

[Guest guest]

Hi Dianne

I just started getting that reflux. It started about 3 weeks ago.

I hope this is not part of CU. Its bad enough we get hives, swell, and itch. Now is reflux. I go to sleep fine and wake up during the night feeling it. Sometimes I take tums and it helps. Othertimes its not really that bad. Just a drink of water will help.

With CU there is always something going on. Many of us are on

thyroid medication ARe you??

Keep in touch

Hi Sandy~

Thanks for writing. I am not on thyroid meds. I've had blood work done for

thyroid, liver, CBC, hepatitis, etc. All normal. I haven't gone wild with

testing as I lost my medical insurance - and job, 10 months ago. I'm

thinking it is the stress of " all of it " , if you know what I mean. However,

the dermatologist I am seeing now says that is not possible. I'm headed to

see another new doc, (also a derm) tomorrow morning but wouldn't you know it

- I'm almost clear right now! Some much for depending on these hives for

anything except seclusion! Mt eyes are quite swollen right now. I'm hoping

this one knows something.

Keep in touch.

Diane,

Did you lose your job because of the URT...If you did, you may get

some help through your states Rehabilitative Services...I do not

have insurance and I have had surgery on my eyes through the

ALabama State Rehab Service...Let me know and maybe I can give you

some more imfo...Anytime you have a condition that affects your

ability to work, the rehab can help a lot of times...Hope this will

help

Hi Dianne

How did you make out with the dermatologist? I even went

for acupuncture. I thought it worked for a while but the hives came back. I guess we would do anything just to get rid of them for good.
