I had really bad acid reflux due to stress and anxiety about my job, ended up on Proton pump inhibitors, they were brilliant.

I have a hiatal hernia, and for years I thought it was an ulcer. Countless times of puking up coffee grounds coloured bile, constant heartburn, GERD, tightness in the chest etc but it took a endoscopy to be diagnosed with the hernia. Sounds like it could be a possibility. I now take double doses of Omeprezole and careful of what I eat seems to help a lot.

Boots - to cut a long story short let me have a blood testing machine for free as my old one broke (I didn't get it from there in the first place or anything). All their idea.

Very nice.

(Best not mention the results when I Got it home OR the ketone levels') ;) :(

Just took part in the West Glamorgan Cross Country League run for my club and smashed my XC pace, 5.5 miles in 42.43, with 7.46 minute miling - no idea how I managed it but really happy at that!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

And on the back of that I went out and cracked 8 miles this morning for the first time in my life - 8.6 miles in total. Bring on the Llanelli half marathon :)

My mum only needs a partial knee replacement, but her left knee is also getting knackered. Thank God she doesn't need a whole new knee though. Hopefully getting it done beginning of March. Her employer, a school, has a private medical scheme as part of its perks. 18 week wait on NHS.

Always nice to find some unexpected money!

My happy thought is am due a 15% bonus in next months pay packet and my 3yr share save company scheme matures too meaning since the share price rocketed i get a nice 5 figure sum which i plan to put towards buying a bigger house in 2014.

Nice.

For the first time in a month, been able to eat a meal without the need for an antacid or anti sickness pill. Forgot to take them today, and so far not suffering. Please God let it have shifted.

My mum had an ulcer and when the Dr touched her stomach and she didn't leap in pain, she lost 3 stone though.

Take a note of what you eat, try and avoid spicy & fatty foods.

Had the renewal letter for our RAC Breakdown Cover this morning. John has been a continuous member since 1965 and, as I want to feel covered for all eventualities, we have the top cover available for driving in the UK.

£225.00!!!!! checked on line and had a strop when I found that if we were allowed to renew on line I would have got a £71.00 discount but as John hadn't joined on line we were refused the option. Checked out the AA and the same cover as a new member with them was £149.00

Strop intensified and I phones up ready to do battle.

Got a lovely lady who listened to my complaint, put me on hold for a couple of minutes, then came back and ..... exactly the same cover for £111.00

£114.00 saved, I feel a shoe shopping expedition is in order. :D
