Karla- New Med

Karla, Yes, I was thinking about asking him about that new medication. It is called Nexion or something like that. It is made by the makers of Prilosec but it is suppose to also heal the ulcer instead of only treating the symptoms. I have an appointment with the family doctor on Wednesday because I have been having allot of nausea and my head feels weird like I would be on pain pills but I'm not, so I don't know what else is going on now. I have gotten spells like I am ready to pass out. I got my flu shot tonight so the nurse checked my blood pressure right away but it is normal.

I am trying to get my hip/back problems taken care of first but keep getting more problems added onto it. I'll soon get fat because I have to keep eating toast every night to try to settle the nausea and the weird head. I should probably just go to bed but I push myself until I get a migraine and can't see anymore not giving me a choice. So far no nausea or dizziness pills have helped.

Jean,

You are on prilosec right? I remember seeing some commercials lately for a new med that I believe is made by the same company as prilosec only I believe it is something stronger. You may want to check this out.
