Hi there

I really can empathise with you. I am in the middle of a nasty flare myself.

I also have an infection at the moment too.

I have the most awful heartburn pretty much all the time, and my sleep is almost non existant. I find myself still wide awake at 4am most nights.

I slept between around 4.30 - 5.30 am last night.

Have you been prescribed anything by your GP for your heartburn? If not it may be worth asking for something.

I'm hoping that you've had your swollen leg and foot checked out by your GP too?

Wishing you less pain and more peace

Sorry to read your post you ahve had enough to contend with with the hip surgery without added problems. Before I was diagnosed with GERD or GORD I always get them mixed up I had an almost constant sore throat and heartburn but first Gaviscon and now Lansaprazole tablets have helped immensely. Have you had the swollen leg and foot looked at I do think a trip to your GP would be a good thing. I can't help you on the sleep as I am terrible night before last not even a wink. Took a sleeping tablet last night a got a few hours but then I don't feel I have woken up all day so it is a balancing act between the two. Do hope you can get some help with this take care of yourself.x

Hi debz66

I am so gneuinely sorry to read this and I sincerely hope that your doctor can help you with finding some relief to these issues. I would keep on at them about the swelling that you have just to have any other medical conditions ruled out of the equation.

I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck, and please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken
