i hate heartburn.

and tonight, it's really bad.

it doesn't matter *what* I eat on a bad day. so i usually just decide to eat what i want. unfortunately, garlic burps + heartburn = sick filling me.

bleagh.

the doctor didn't call back til late. he said i can pick up samples monday. if the next med doesn't work, i have to go see a gastro. *sigh*.

i don't want a stomach-cam. i just want the heartburn to go away away away.

i got the camera down the throat when i was in college (9-10 years ago). it wasn't so bad. just be glad it is an upper gi, as opposed to lower... i think i would rather the tummy camera than the barium milkshake again, that thing tasted like chalk and they made me drink the whole cup... ick!

good luck on the tummy woes. they are no fun!

i'm just sick of invasive procedures, in the last year, i've had two major surgeries, various nerve studies, etc. i could deal with an upper GI--after all, i wouldn't remember it. i'll flat out refuse a sigmoidoscopy if they want to investigate my IBS, though. i don't care if i don't remember it, my ass is not captain nemo's playground.

so maybe i can cut a deal... i won't bitch about an endoscopy if they agree to drop all talk of figuring out my intestinal crap (pun not intended).

i can live with ibs, but heartburn is hellish.
