commonsense,
i am not sure which medicine your refering to that you took while pregnant. i never tried prevacid or tagamet. my heartburn isnt unbearable its just uncomfortable. either way when i told my dr she said just drink milk (huh!?). i literally go threw a bottle of mylanta a week. but zantac seems to work much better and after researching it online i see that many doctors tell their patients its ok as its only a catergory B so i am listening to their advice. shes very against taking anything at all while pregnant. so when i told her i take a low dose ssri (category C) and an occasional klonopin (catergory D) she freaked out. my psychiatrist said its ok and i researched a TON on this topic. apparently many OB’s do give the go ahead especially for someone on such a low dose as i am (altho i was on a higher dose till i got pregnant). eventho she wanted me completely off, i stayed on the regimen anyway based on the fact i feel this is whats best and so did a genetic counselor i spoke to.
Snowbunny, after reading all your symptoms my heart just sank. i feel so bad for you that you have to suffer. my gastritis was much more mild compared to yours. do you think maybe you should leave the seminary? obviously the people there are not supportive and it seems like right now its best to be in a supportive environment. maybe check out Neve Yerushalayim in Har Nof. I was there. people there are so supportive and amazing as well as the learning. they work with you emotionally, and spiritually as well as financially if you cant afford it. no maderichots are on top of you yelling at you all the time. you just may feel better in a different environment then the seminary you are in.
