Apparently, a “gastrointestinal reflex stomach ulcer” or something.

Well, I’m taking this seriously.

Yesterday, I was at the urgent care. It felt, well, horrible. I was throwing up.

Jesus, it was quite something, but I feel better now.

But I need to take care of this issue and want to commit myself to better physical health and exercise as well as strength training.

No more NSAIDs. Frankly, I don’t want to take ever fucking again.

I’m also throwing away that dumb anti-GERD medication taht made me, well, sick.

Also, Trintellix is going out too.

Edit: The medicine that may have likely contributed, in my estimation, was definitely the Pantoprazole Sod Dr 40 Mg Tab (reading from the bottle here lol)

    Psyllium husks (metamucil) is good for mucilage. I can’t recommend specific herbs because I don’t know your body and specific contraindications. For example, comfrey root makes plenty of mucilage, but has it’s own risks. I’m willing to take certain risks with myself, not recommend them to you.

    You may find mint teas comforting. You may also consider investing in a solid herbal/plant medicine book. Nexium has serious side effects too but the medical association members have zero problems writing prescriptions for it. So perhaps snake oil is in the eye of the beholder.

      Mint tea!

      I prefer green tea… but is mint tea better? Can I have both? Can’t hurt, I suppose…

      Let’s see…

      I am Autistic (ADHD as well). Maybe OCD. Maybe even bipolar.

      I thought I had sleep apnea. I 99% probably don’t.

      I hate NSAIDs now and always had an increasingly bad reaction to them.

      My brother has canola oil allergies. I may too.

      I am lactose intolerant, as mentioned before.

      I’m short, I guess? Dunno if that affects anything. Overweight, not fat, but I’ve gotten chubbier since the pandemic, ngl.

      I’ll look into this more, but in this day and age of AI and misinformation?

      Ngl, but I’ll still take my chances with “proven snake oil science” over ingesting the “snake oil” fucking directly down your gullet, you know?
