Twin Toddlers Run Amok, Go on Rampage I'm back from the physical. It only took 4 hours. Christ, and this is WITH an appointment. Turns out that I don't need a test for Helicobacter Pylori at all. That bacteria lives in the stomach or the duodenum. My problems are higher than that. It appears as though I have GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Acid reflux gone wrong. The valve separating the stomach from the esophagus is faulty and possibly herniated. It allows acid to go up to the esophagus, whose cells are not protected from hydrochloric acid. It eventually burns through. Finally, a decent answer as to why. I guess that's why I was not given an HP test before, because it is pretty much useless for GERD.

This is looking a little bad, financially. I've got some big bills, taxes and now this. My private insurance company seems incredibly incompetent. I still have not received any money from them regarding my claim for the Pantoloc I was given last month. I need cash money and sound health. And food! I have to fast until it's over, some time around lunch. How long do these things take? Guess I'll find out. 0 scrawls at the end of this hallThe look: a little nervous The feel: tired; I need more sleep The taste: ________________________ |
