omeprazole at night
I take 20 mg of Omeprazole before breakfast under instruction from my GP although I have not suffered from acid reflux/ heartburn. I do however suffer from a hoarse voice which I was told by others who have the same that it may be “silent reflux” which is where the stomach acid is pushed up into the

Post op sleeping position
Hi everyone my husband is nearly 9 months post oesophagectomy with 2/3 of his stomach removed. He was diagnosed T4aN1M0 in September last year, had the op in March and is overall recovering really well. We’re so grateful that generally he’s sleeping well but currently using an OPA wedge but slipping

Swallowing difficulties 5 months post-op
Hi everyone. I’m 46 and had keyhole oesohagectomy surgery 5 months ago for T3N1M0 adenocarcinoma. I’ve recovered really well in most ways. No reflux and sleeping well. I’ve gained 2 stone (12.7kg) since my post-op weight (having lost 4 stone since my symptoms began) and I feel fit and healthy BUT I

PMR/Hiatus hernia and PPIs
I’m not sure what to do now. I was diagnosed in February with PMR and prescribed Omeprazole and 15mg pred (now down to 10mg). Hiatus hernia was discovered during a scan a couple of months ago. No particular problems with Omeprazole but asked for a different PPI after reading negative reports about a

lapararoscopy
I have a complex cyst probably 7.2-7.4cm and have been told that I will need eventual laparascopy. I am back 23rd of July again for another tvultrasound to check how it is. The gynae/surgeon has done watchful waiting with me since my diagnosis as he knows I am a carer for my mum and I have no one else

Do those with thin linings have light periods?
Hello,I have unexplained infertility. Have had one failed cycle that produced 3 good quality blasts. 1 x fresh failed and 2 x FET both failed to implant. I had one cycle cancelled due to thin lining of 5.5mm. I now take additional estrogen, Viagra, Aspirin and progesterone which have given me a lining

How to taper off 15mg Lansoprazole
Hi I have been on lansoprazole for about 2.5 months now and about to try come off them. I am on 15mg. I've started by taking one and then missing one the next day then taking another but I've already got acid reflux and this is only the second one I've missed. Do I need to do it slower? The docs said

I have been having digestive issues since May, lots of indigestion, acid reflux, belching etc. It comes and goes, sometimes good, sometime not, I would say I feel unwell 50% of the time. I was referred to a gastroenterologist. I had a colonoscopy last year and all was clear. Gastro decided

Bisphosphonates
I had 1 Prolia shot in Feb with many side effects. I’m going to see a Rheumatologist to Relay me off. I can’t take any Bisphosphonates because I had Gastric Bypass. I don’t know what to do. Is there anyone out there that been on Prolia and can’t take a Bisphosphonate? I would love to hear what you took

Any tips for Natural Modified FET (boost lining)?
Hi everyone, I have a persistent thinnish lining (around 6 to 7mm) after an episode of abnormal bleeding between periods (turned out to be silent endo and a polyp that did not show up on ultrasound). Before that, 11mm was my average. After failing a recent FET, my doctor decided to monitor my lining

Supporting Egg Quality
Hello All,We went through our first cycle of IVF in Jan and we are planning our next round in July. The first round we went in very naively and rather blind in terms of body/mind preparation. I have tried to guide myself as much as I can but I wondered what you could add to what I am doing. I am on

What ever happened?
Why can't I get my fat arse out of my room and bed? I wrote some lists out for what we need to do around the house and remind us what to do on a daily and weekly basis once the deep clean is done, Every time I plan anything I just get waylaid and all that gets done is, tv oh yeah and crap snacking!

Suppression of TSH but low T4/T3 levels whilst taking Levo/Lio Combo
A few years ago, my thyroid results were looking a lot better but NHS GP over the last 2 years has told me to reduce my dosage twice (because of the 'risks' of overtreatment). I'm now on 100mcg levothyroxine (75mcg supplied by GP and topped up by myself) and 25mcg liothyronine (self-sourced). I now don't

omeprazole long term
Hello, advice please on long term use of Omeprazole, one 20mgs a day. I've been on Omeprazole for years now as I suffer from GERD. I recently asked my consultant about coming off Omeprazole but he stated as it is such a low dosage, to keep taking. There is so much on the internet about this medication
