Yes it is! My acid reflux has been pretty bad lately! Alot of it has to do with my eating habits and weight. I do take a pill for it but I wonder if I could get a different pill or have a bigger dosage of the current pill! I know losing weight would help but the 12 pounds I had lost are back on! I have changed some of my eating habits but am having trouble with certain other things! It is affecting my job and makes me very drained some days!Not a happy camper right now!
On top of that I never have'tn been able to get rid of the adult diaper rash I have had like 2 years! No matter how I treated it and try to keep it clean I still have it! I am to the point now where I have had it and it time to really do something about it! I will see my regular doctor for that.
I feel so foolish and stupid! I will like everyone will or is angry with me over this! I have gottan paronoid again! It sucks being me right now!

Have you thought of trying the hypnosis technique? A person who wants to lose weight really has to committ to some lifestyle changes. More exercise and less food sort of thing. Five or six small meals to keep your metabolism going is a help and good habit to get into. May help you with cravings and hunger pangs too. If you swab any diaper rash with witch hazel it helps to heal it. Why are you paranoid and who do you feel is mad at you?

Sounds like you need a diet and exercise buddy. The changes you make in your life should be small and you have to commit to them. Set small goals. It is getting close to Spring and time to get out and walk and garden and such.

I have had thought of trying hynonsis. A few times I had enough money saved up for it but I backed out. I chickened out! I have been thinking about this again and I want to do it when I have the money saved up! I am so sick of this! I do good then I do bad! It is a roller coaster which I want to get off! I should exercise but when I do I stop after awhile,like so many other people! I get paroniod because I feel people will hate me! Something that usually is not true! When I worry and get upset I sometimes go over the deep end like I have been lately! I'm a mess right now!

Please don't talk so mean about yourself, Blue. You are not foolish nor are you stupid. I realize that you are embarrassed but you must realize that the doctors have seen all sorts of things and are there to help you. I think that with the rash, you really have to push them to either find out what is causing it or reccomend a dermatologist for you as someone else mentioned. 2 years is a long time and it must be very uncomfortable.
As for the acid reflex, my younger daughter has that there are other types of pills that can be taken. Talk honestly with your doctor and work with him/her to help you get on track with a healthy diet and routine that will work for you. And don't be so hard on yourself. These kinds of things take time. You'll get there, I'm sure of it!

Yes having this rash for two years is along time and I should talk to me doctor about it. Same with my acid reflux. I know it takes time to work on it and alot of is do to emotional eating. I should also seek help for it but I rather not at this time! So much work to do! I am to hard on myself and I shouldn't be embarressed! I am sure doctors have seen a whole lot worse then what is what is going on with me! I need to remember that!

I am sure that it is embarrassing but I hope you get over it enough to get the help you need to get healthier. I am kind of the same way when it comes to going to the doctors, etc. I get embarrassed really easy but your health is more important than your pride. It goes beyond embarrassment for me. Sometimes I get scared and when I most need to see a doctor is when I will most hesitate...not sure why. Maybe fear of the diagnosis??? One step at a time, Blue. You need to syke yourself into going in and getting the help you need. Take one issue at a time.

I have acid reflux and heart burn real bad too. I also take a pill for it and have had to lose weight to control it better. Like you i have gained most the wight back but i am losing it once again and am trying to eat healthier and keep the weight off. What also helps is plain white milk. When you feel the heartburn or acid reflux drink a glass of milk. Also for the diaper rash ever heard of Anti Monkey Butt. I have never used t but have heard of those that have and they say it works better than any rash cream they ever used.

I need to lose weight again and I really need to try again! I have had a weight problem must of my life. I can take it off but have to learn to kept it off!
I do drink plain milk. At least twice a day and have for years. Usually with meals. I could try and use it for a heartburn attack. Lately I have been using Pepto-Bismol lately. It helps and I do take one pill a day for my acid reflux.
I have heard of Anit-Monkey Butt. I wlll look into it and give it a try. It won't hurt!

The diaper rash problem reminds me of what happened to us… one of my kids had a really severe diaper rash when she was a toddler. She had it for months and months..we went to the pediatrician over and over and they kept giving her ointments. We did everything..sun treatmens, all kinds of lotions and nothing helped.
Finally one of my girlfriends said go see a dematologlist...We did and the rash was cleared within a week
...she had a yeast infection which didn't respond to any lotions.
I was relieved and po'd at the same time.....all those months and the pediatrician couldn’t diagnose or send us to a dermatologist???!!
You might want to visti one..can't hurt..and all the best!

Ouch, you're just tore from one end to the other!
I've had acid reflux as well and stress is not good for it either, so don't be embarrassed/paranoid about adult diaper rash. So quit stressing about things, I know easier said than done , but stress can cause all sorts of health problems!

Have you consulted any doctor for your problem? Have you undergone an endoscopy? I think you need an endoscopic examination for coming to a diagnosis; it might be due to hiatus hernia or due to peptic ulcer syndrome. Unless a correct diagnosis is made, the treatment can never be directed in the proper way. So diagnosis is the first criteria to be fulfilled before the actual management starts.

I have never had a endoscpic examination. I did have a colonostomy just over 2 years ago. I will go and see the doctor sooner or later about my problem. I have had alot of other things on my mind and have put my health on the back burner again. When I find out what is wrong I most likely will let my friends here on Mylot know.

There is a product out there that might work for you. It's called Anti-Monkey Butttt.(don't know if mylot will edit this) Use it with a few clients that have the same problem.
Acid reflux is no fun. Have a trip in the ambulance before because of it. Feels like you're trying to swallow a rake. Changing a diet is hard. It's taken a big adjustment time for me but got used to it after a while.
I wish you luck with your doctor and hope he can help find some answers for you. If diet is a bit issue would your doctor help you out by setting up an appointment with a nutritionist? Sometimes food interact with each other that cause more acid than others. It's a thought anyway. I learned a lot when my mother went to one about what goes with what.

I have heard of Anti-Monkey Butt cream. I will look into. It wouldn't hurt to try it!
I have not called the doctor yet about my acid reflux. I plan on doing it tomorrow. I have an appointment in June but I will need to see him sooner. I did got information on what to eat but it wasn't alot. I will try and get more information when I see my doctor.

Remember these, you knew it was happening, you knew it was not good but things happened for you can't control it so it is nice for you to see or consult doctor. It is also important that you must know that you are the best doctor to yourself and the doctor alone can do nothing good if you will not help yourself so why not observed thoroughly yourself and observed what is best for you to do.
