- Update on my on my physical and mental wellbeing as I continue to suffer with acid reflux, LPR, GERD, Oesophagitis, anxiety and depression.
I'm experiencing all these things. It's so scary and I am a mum I feel so lost. The brain fog is the worse, anxiety. How are you now mate? Thank you for this video your made me feel safe. I wouldn't wish this on my worse enemy but I gonna keep positive
I'm sorry to hear your having such a hard time, I'm not doing to good myself. I'll hopefully be doing a video within the next week or so
@@stuartbardin3164 Thank you for your reply😊. I have my first doctor appointment today with gp since my endoscopy which was a terrible experience, it was so scary they diagnosed me with acid reflux and a 4cm rolling hiatal hernia. The PPI consultant gave me worked for a bit but I really wanna solve my problem naturally. There is something I did find when I was researching my stomach issues. There is a clinic in America that says all these stomach issues are related to back problems and can be solved by a good chiropractor. Now the key is finding a good one in England who knows those practices. I use to work as a teacher assistant, I know I definitely had back issues because of my job. Anyway sorry for the long message please keep posting your videos and stay positive.👍🏽
I am so sore , my throat is in agonising pain 24/7 due to lpr and I have anxiety, I am a mum and I literally do nothing anymore, I just sit in pain, nothing is enjoyable anymore. I really understand how you feel. It's awful, I don't even need to eat anything I get symptoms.
My thoughts... I can relate to a lot of what you are experiencing. I have had (and still have at times) extreme anxiety about everything- my health, life in general. Costochondritis has sent me to the ER & doctor many times. I have had very low Vitamin D and now take D3 supplements. Years ago I had Graves Disease- hyperthyroid- which made me totally INSANE! I now always test borderline with Graves..so that is so-so with me now and has been for years. I also don't sleep well at all.. not at all. When I do, which is maybe once a week, I feel like a different person- for the better. I'm diagnosed as severe general anxiety. I have taken all the anti depressants. The one that helped me feel like a content person who could handle life, I stupidly stopped taking it. and I couldn't get back on it. I realize this post is all over the place so I'll end it with- think about trying the anti depressant. It may help your nervous system to calm down. That was my main problem- hyper nervous system. This was all before covid and all before Gerd/reflux/ gastritis/ LPR. So the addition of these extra traumas in my life has restimulated my nervous system into overdrive.
Thanks for taking the time to share Oscar, really sorry you have been through so much
Do you know what sort of fear you have that produces your anxiety? For me it was a specific phobia. One way I started to get better from my anxiety was to challenge my phobia every time I thought about it. I’m a guy who had anxiety so bad, I didn’t leave my house for four years btw.
Funny you mentioned the football as I watched it too and got the burning chest during the Denmark game...did football set off my LPR again?! Oh no! I also have rib pain, anxiety, depression, serious fatigue, brain fog terrible dizziness etc. I too was low/borderline Vitamin D and I remember my LPR fixing itself after spending a lot of time in the sun..might be a coincidence. Have you had any pins and needles in your limbs? Leg problems? This might be my back issues.
You sound very similar to me Ben, how you feeling today? For me I take a prebiotic, cod liver oil, antihistamines, magnesium, B12 and vitamin D I believe they all really help me and diet is key. I've not had pins and needles, what do you mean by leg problems? The rib pain is properly costochondritis which I have aswel
@@stuartbardin3164 Good thanks apart from the slight sore throat after waking up but I didn't do much talking last night. How about you? Funnily enough, a change of diet didn't seem to fix my LPR last time I had it. At least, I don't think so as I only changed a few minor things...cutting down portion sizes and eating no later than 7pm. I suppose everybody is different and intolerant to certain things. My first bout started at the end of 2017. I had always had reflux before that but this was new. I remember returning to the UK after living abroad and I was very anxious about coming back and getting a good job..the same thing seems to have happened again with finding a new job! I was in a terrible state with a hoarse voice after 20mins talking and didn't commit to getting another job other than a supermarket role. Its a vicious cycle as you know because the more depressed you get, the more your anxiety increases and so on. You want't to get a good job but feel that you can't. In 2019 I had to do a lot of outside work in the garden as we moved into a new house. I felt really fulfilled and it was really sunny for weeks and weeks. I felt happier. As time went on, I felt I could push through the sore throat and it would clear to the point that I felt 99% better. I have been feeling really anxious recently and very depressed and now it is back. I'm taking vitamin D again and will look at my eating habits but I wonder if a lot of it has to do with your emotional state. The leg problems are probably to do with my back which isn't good either. How long have you had LPR? and yes, stay off the PPI as I am sure these do nothing along with antacids etc. Does your stomach feel constantly uncomfortable/sore/windy? One thing I have noticed is that my anxiety is through the roof and may have to get help with it. I wake up with a feeling of dread every morning.
Did you get re tested for H pylori? Been dealing with acid reflux now for 2 years.... started seeing a holistic doctor.... you might want to look into that... the big issue i have is the reflux is making my gum hurt....do you ever have that? Praying for you buddy I feel horrible everyday still
Hi Dan , I've not been re tested for H.Pylori as I only got of the medication about 3 weeks ago, I think they only test you again if you have the same symptoms still but actually not doing to bad at the minute. I actually tried something called kambo recently (see video on my channel) which is more holistic but also very extreme and I've been better with my symptoms since then. I do have some issues with my gums actually, my Lower gums behind my bottom front theeth I also have very sore eyes, do you suffer with them?
Yes my upper and lower front gums hurt badly.... my mouth in general hurts daily.... I used to get the pain in my chest it now is more in my throat and in my mouth. Its every day buddy. I have been watching your videos, keep doing what your doing. But look into a good holistic doctor. They will keep you off the ppis im going to see an ENT next week going to ask them to test me for H pylori
@@danfader9625 sorry your in paid Dan, it's really not nice, ruins your life. I can't take ppi , I've tried 4 and will never try again. I actually take zero medication these days and I'm doing better then I have in the past 6 months so I'm not sure what's going on. Keep me updated with how your getting on. ENT will not test you for H.Pylori, that will be you GP you ask
I will keep you posted, yes my life has basically been on hold, I will not take the ppis it just scares the hell out of me as to what my insides look like.... im pretty sure its all in my gut think I have h pylori
Have u experienced post nasal drip?
Yeah sure
@@stuartbardin3164 I’m struggling so much with my diet, all the info out there is so contradictory regarding the acidic v alkaline stuff. I had a very traumatic event around the 16th of September but the 19th I had post nasal drip right up until now. I’ve been treated for sinusitis. After two rounds on antibiotics, nasal sprays(nasonex,rynase , octrivint drops) antihistamines( zyratec. Allegra I bough these two otc then my doctor prescribed sinuclear d btw my doctor did not even touching me (I guess she’s scared of Covid) She send me for a a ray on my skull which showed I had a mild deviated septum and rhinitis. I decided go to an ent who examined and didn’t acknowledge it could be possibly a form of reflux until I mentioned it. I’m now waiting to get a barium swallow X-ray and an adult food and respiratory illness allergy test next week . My doctor prescribed lorazepam and Paxil to help with my sleep and anxiety respectively , I took the lorazapam to help me to sleep as I was desperate after hardly sleeping for over 2 weeks, but after listening to you I think my is definitely retaliated to my mental health. I will follow you store...I hope all is well with you sooner than later 🙏🏾
@@Kei-to7vt sounds like your trying to do all the right things, maybe you should have an endoscopy. I need to do an update video, stay turned as I'll try and get a new video out this week
@@stuartbardin3164 I’ll call in and ask about it, the ent didn’t even mention that. I’ve also been on and “alkaline”diet and drinking alkaline water for the past month and I’ve experienced nor changes or relief. I’m suffering. I’ve gone from enjoying and trying to make the most out of my days to being completely fine with if I don’t wake up tomorrow. The more I research post nasal drip and lpr on line the more disheartening it is as I’m seeing more people speaking about “living with and managing it “ for years😭😭 and very few who have actually gotten any type of relief.....I feel broken
How's things now mate ? I think its the reflux , messes up your whole thinking , i was going along fine until this shit kicked in !
Gut and brain axis, look it up if you haven't already, 90% of your serotonin is made in the gut thats why we all of us with reflux issues suffer with anxiety
@@stuartbardin3164 Will do , even contacted my GP service as mad thoughts of depression kicked in the other night . Seeing a counsellor as need to talk as cant live like this , have a good life and Mrs , no fun at all , basically starving myself due to this shit !
@@mikej4193 it's going to get better Mike I promise
@@stuartbardin3164 Hope so Stuart , told my partner book a holiday as life is too short , need to see what is going on with me inside . No way to live is it mate ! Hows your day today ?
@@mikej4193 I'm not to bad today, I actually had 2 beers out in the sun then came home but I'm satisfied, I'm back home now relaxing 😎
