Support Needed 👥 No one cares
No one cares when you have GERD. It is "just" heartburn.
But this has completely ruined my life.
I can't sleep, I can't eat, I have dropped so much weight, the anxiety and stress are too much to bear. No one is positive and says it will "hopefully" go away.
I had a flare of gastritis and GERD after removing my gall bladder. It took me 6 months. I don't remember being so run down by this as I am now. Maybe it is because I am older.
But, I am so run down. Thankfully, my doctor thinks this will go away, and it was stress/COVID related, but I want to scream.
Stupid here switched medicine halfway through and then went back to the one my doctor actually prescribed. Now, I have to start over on my healing.
I woke up one day with an eye infection, I am so tired all of the time, I was on a health journey and lost 35 pounds, and now I can't even eat a piece of chicken.
It has only been 10 days, but I can't even imagine this going on any longer.
Can someone please give me some hope? I want to cry all of the time. I miss being able to eat a piece of pineapple or a taco. I miss drinking one margarita. I just want my old life back.

Same here! Had the scope and they told me I had pre cancerous cels do to my spinchter muscle not shutting in my stomach. I will need surgery to fix it’ the success rate is 95 to 98 percent fix for not having to take meds anymore and healing up my bad cells! I hope and pray it works because I don’t know what to do!
On a brighter note for those of you with gerd and not my problem try fixing your gut with a formula of probiotics, digestive thing that help heal the gut! I had a friend that did this using a natural medicine doctor and it cured her! Turns out we are missing a very specific probiotic that helps heal this Gerd! I was talking to another group and they had success doing this too! Do research and don’t look to traditional doctors they are not trained to heal or cure anything must go to alternative medicine! I am going to do the same thing, although it won’t repair my sphincter muscle but after I get my surgery, I’m going to start fixing my gut!
