I have asked all my doctors and several pharmacists for help to stop the intense pain I suffer after eating anything, a sip of water is enough to trigger the pain. I've had tests which ruled out many likely causes and the only positive was confirmation that I have mild GERD that is responding well to diet and medication. None of the medications I take are contraindicated. My numerous doctors have worked together to replaced medications that were causing severe side effects, such as falling. As the professionals haven’t been able to help me, I am turning to members of the forum who may have or had personal experience with this problem and have any advice for me. Thank you.
FYI, I am a 64 year old woman unable to work and on disability. I being treated for depression, anxiety, agoraphobia, heart disease, allergies (dust, pollen), GERD, narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome, the many side effects of the medications, and the constant battle between constipation and diarrhea. I have degenerative disc disease. I have declined surgery. All my doctors agree that I cannot take ibuprofen due to previous bouts of gastritis.
I’d appreciate any insight you can give me.

Hello imtrying: (By the way... the Skeezyks is 68!) I'm sorry. I don't have any experience with anything like this. But I wondered if you are familiar with PsychCentral's sister website... "NeuroTalk". (I'm a member over there as well.) There are members over there who are quite knowledgeable with regard to all sorts of physical / medical conditions. If you're not already familiar with NT, you might consider checking those forums out as well. Hope you find a solution to this most difficult problem...
