I'm on my second course of antibiotics for h. pilori. I was scoped 3 months after the first course and the ulcers were worse!! The pain continues to be terrible especially the pain that radiates to the back. I've done everything I was asked. Given up nsaids, given up caffiene and alcohol.
Anyone had experience with ulcers that don't heal? Any secrets or advice???? |

Well.....that's a really good question.
I guess I have to admit that my stress level is a little over the top. I'm burnt out and working insane hours at work. I'm having lots of flashbacks and sleeping very little. I feel powerless to lower it though. Self care is not something I've ever been very good at it. I've made a life out of being everything to everybody and I've gotten lost in the process. |

Has your Doctor started you on an acid blocker?
This is of most importance. There are two different kinds, H2 inhibitors (Pepcid), or Proton Pump Inhibitors (Protonix, lansoprazole, omeprazole (prilosec)). If it were me, I would request a PPI. You can get generic prilosec OTC, but if you have good insurance you could probably get it cheaper with a prescription. First and foremost...speak with you MD about it if they don't have you on one daily.
