why did none of my fucking doctors tell me i can instantly relieve otherwise hours-long agony just by drinking a bit of baking soda in water...
WHY THE FUCK ARE ALL MY MEDICATIONS USELESS PREVENTATIVE TRASH WITH A MILLION SIDE EFFECTS WHEN I HAD ACTUAL RELIEF RIGHT HERE IN MY PANTRY THE WHOLE TIME
like i get that if you are experiencing abnormal pain you should get it checked out but IN THE MEANTIME i could have been treating myself, and even once i got seen they didn't give me jack shit for the pain!
#heartburn#acid reflux#health#medicine#GERD#legit so mad#i have suffered so much and have so much internal damage FOR NO REASON#oh sure let's make me coat my stomach with chemicals 3 times a day every day for the rest of my life#oh sure let's give me weird shit to inhibit my natural acid production and if i ever stop taking them it will come back EVEN WORSE#oh sure let's coat the FOOD i eat so it doesn't come back up my throat#BUT WE CAN'T POSSIBLY JUST NEUTRALIZE THE ACID ITSELF THAT WOULD MAKE TOO MUCH SENSE#important life tips

I folded laundry fresh outta the dryer tonight!!! I had folded a couple of big shirts for myself, but then got into A Zone because ADHD. If I walked away or sat down, the folding wouldn't happen. Seeing as I just had dinner and won't be able to lay down comfortably*, I opted for just folding laundry.
I FOLDED LAUNDRY!!!
Two big loads, another in the dryer, and one more that needs drying.
My ADHD let me fold laundry. Just...wow. Folks with ADHD will know how amazing this is.
Now it's late, and I get up early**, so time for sleep. I hope I can fold the last loads tomorrow. That would be fucking impressive.
#chaosfay talks#*I have GERD and can't take meds for it. the meds do something that makes my seizure medicine not work. the seizure med#comes out more or less looking the same as it did when i took the med. this means my body wasn't doing anything with the pills. i was#basically getting no seizure meds at all. i was on the GERD med for a week before i said fuck this i don't wanna die. any other med that#treats it will likely have the same effect. plus the diarrhea was very unpleasant. i trained myself to sleep on my left side and back to#keep the heartburn from happening and fucking with my asthma. if you have heartburn and find yourself coughing a lot#especially when you lay down the coughing is caused by your stomach acid getting into your trachea/windpipe. this is very bad.#laying on the left pinches the stomach closed. avoid laying on your right especially if you have a full belly. i've found it also helps to#go for a walk to do some upright physical activity to help with digestion and reduce trapped gas. if my heartburn is especially bad i drink#sodium bicarbonate in water (recipe is on the baking soda box) and my dr gave me the okay for it. it's basically baking soda poured into#vinegar but less violent and consideable burping. never do this with a full stomach because it can really fuck you up.#**i accidentally took my seizure med in the morning because i kept reminding myself to take my vitamins and my brain went into#autopilot and i grabbed the wrong med. rather than correct this i opted to get up early. my med requires i have food in my belly and#that means i must eat. sooooo i get up at around 8AM. i'm starting ADHD med soon (#my insurance refused to cover the first med my dr)#my adhd med has to be taken in thr morning and again at mid-day so again i need to get up early. my dr suggested i have nothing to eat#because citric acid/vitamin c cancels out adhd meds. so empty belly for an hour before and an hour after. 8AM and then around noon.

They need to put me in an ad for Advil gel capsules, because yesterday I was sobbing on the floor and this morning I was in so much pain I couldn't talk, but now I feel like a normal human person and also could probably do a backflip (I would break my neck and tear my ACL but still)
#it's been bad folks i'm not gonna lie. i don't know where this flare-up came from but it has been agony#i haven't cried in ages (thanks testosterone) but when i say i was sobbing lying on the floor...#i don't usually take painkillers anymore because they gave me gerd :))#it's like... a mix of being in constant severe pain and also having a heartburn flare-up = barely sleeping = tantrum#caused by stress most likely. because i'm in the last 2 weeks of my undergrad AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA#'see a doctor' WITH WHAT TIME AND MONEY LOL

If you regularly experience acid reflux or the more advanced version of it, GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), it is important you know common food culprits and figure out your triggers (see image 3) and start replacing them with healing foods (image 5). One of the best natural remedies for acid reflux is organic apple cider vinegar, which is excellent for gut health in general (image 6). Take care of your gut. It’s the root of your health!

8 Causes Behind the Bad Taste in Your Mouth
Have you ever felt like you still had a bad taste in your mouth after you are just done brushing your teeth? It's typical to have a bitter aftertaste once you have something, but dysgeusia, or a persistent strange taste in your mouth, is quite a rare thing. The taste can be described as rotten, bitter, salty, or metallic.
Continue reading to learn about the most common causes of dysgeusia and what they might mean for the health of your teeth and gums.

drinking chamomile tea for the first time thoughts and prayers appreciated because this is a moment of desperation and i find myself mildly worried it shall backfire on me
#hot girl ibs autumn and all that!#i googled it chamomile is low fodmap it Should be fine.#but my cramping is awful today which it is apparently good for ?? and also it's apparently good for heartburn/gerd too#which is how it was even on my radar. in the first place#im pleasantly surprised tho like it....does not taste bad at all#ive been so anti tea all my life except for chai but i genuinely do fuck with this. a little floral a little earthy but not in a bad way#summer's text tag#anyways enough tmi about the state of my body (it is falling apart) (i am falling apart) (literally at the seams)

Random Tid-Bit
If you have GERD or problems with heartburn, acid reflux...
Try eating dinner before 6PM, and sleep at around 9-10PM. This helps and allows the food to fully digest within the stomach and travel throughout your digestive tract, making it harder to come back up into the esophagus!

I'm so tired of looking up ways to manage silent reflux and being given all the finger shaking about regular reflux. They're not the same thing. This has been acknowledged many times. I already eat a bland as fuck diet, I already don't deal with alcohol and caffeine and etc., the reflux just hits when it wants and worse in winter and there's fuck all I can do about it except look it up. And get told again to avoid everything I'm already avoiding. Anyone with lpr will tell you: following gerd rules may not make lpr worse, but it doesn't fucking help. But apparently few things actually do, so.
#I'm laid up with horrible post nasal drip that's hurting my stomach#Had the sensation of being choked earlier and bad neck and jaw tension and like#Nothing better than having to go to reddit because every article is like 'well its reflux#So you must need to follow the same rules as heartburn' NO#The phenomenon might be the same but the triggers are vastly different#I might even have too LITTLE acid and not too much#Which makes every single guideline about food null and void#The lack of research into this is distressing#I just needed to yell for a minute#I used to think reflux was a temporary annoyance and Gerd just a string of annoyances#But no it can ruin a quality of life like you wouldn't believe#Chronic-les
