I had a rough night!

Hi sxrxnrr, I think this insurance is awful, so mean while you could be dying, what a supid rules, I have heartburn sometimes so I chew fresh mint, it really works, but I really think you should talk to your docto5r first. Tamara

It is sad that you cannot get what you need. I am sorry that you are having to suffer. It sounds like you might have something more than just heartburn going on. Insurance can be a pain.

I suffer from occasional heartburn but nothing this chronic. Fortunately I am still able to use fruit salts/antacids or bubbly mineral water to relieve the symptoms as they still work for me. These are quick fixes, a friend of mine chews on a spoon of aniseed and says it works wonders. The problem is that sometimes one thing may not give heartburn one day but do so on another. Luckily I know what gives me heartburn, certain types of coffee and fried food as well as certain foods that are very rich or contain things like cream/tomato/cuttlefish and of course toast or bread mixes that have margarine/oil/butter included if eaten warm are terrible so I try to avoid them but it is not always possible. I do hope that you feel better soon.
