It's Definitely Not Doublemint Gum

I am now on double the dose of the little purple pill. I don't think taking it twice a day will be 'double the fun'. Getting older stinks!

Oh no! Sorry about the extra dose. Is it helping any yet? I think they said it takes a while before you notice though...huh?

I worry that DH should be taking that stuff. his parents both have/had reflux. MIL now sleeps elevated.

I hope you feel better soon.

I hope you're feeling better soon.

Remember the old TV commercial -
"We're not getting older, we're getting better" ??

Well, we are! And don't you forgit it.

I only get acid very rarely. I'm no fan of any of these gastrointestinal issues. I'm with Patti here in that you don't have to get 'old' mentally, at least...don't think 'old'

Hang in there! I know taking meds isn't fun and you aren't old. Remember that you're only as old as you feel so keep having good thoughts inside and it will be alright. I have to believe that as well. :)

Good luck. The Mister's family has trouble with reflux, really screws with sleeping well.

you aren't old (well compared to me) you just take after my favorite uncle!!

Renee - I just started the extra dose last night...time will tell.

Patti - Better sounds good, but I'm definitely feeling older, not wiser, not better, just older.

Ralph - My mother always says that "age is just a number" which is great when you are feeling healthy...not so great when you are in pain. I try not to think 'old', or act 'old' but sometimes, I realize that I am old.

Michele - I am trying to hang in there. I know that you know how frustrating it is when medication doesn't work.

Patches - Yes it most certainly does...not that I was sleeping so great before all of this, but it doesn't help, that's for sure.

The Moose Buyer - That frightens me, as much as I loved him, I don't want to end up like him.

Lynn you won't end up like Dad, who had other issues. No, you will probably end up like all the women in our family with loss of memory!! Then you won't remember why you have to take those awful pills.

Lynn, this is for you! :)

The Moose Buyer - I am hoping to end up like my dad's mother and sister...sharp as a tack until the very end.

Michele - Thanks for the award.
