Health Issues

Well this post is to add to the growing number of health posts lately. I went to the doc today to hopefully get my stomach fixed. Got there early to fill out all the paperwork and then finally got in. The doc was nice and was in to see me fairly quickly.

On of the first things he asked me was if I was diagnosing myself what would I say my problem was. I was thinking, well that's why I came to you. Either way he confirmed what I and I believe another doc had said of acid reflux. Based on the location of my pain he said it could not be an ulcer due to it being to high. Basically it set everyone else strait that is was not an ulcer.

As far as treatment, I am now on Nexium and can't drink any caffeine or alcohol for a month. This of course sucks. But its not over yet. He wants me to walk for 30 minutes a day, do some sit ups daily, and lift weights for 3 times a week. I feel I don't have time for all that regardless of what other people say. Doc said loosing weight and exercising would help the reflux.

In other news, all the studying was for Hain's exam tonight. After the exam my head was killing me. Still slightly hurting and I am tired. Hopefully I did ok in it, few people I asked had similar answers for some problems.

I am trying to get a new phone too. Cingular will rip you off in a heartbeat on getting a new phone and resigning a contract. I know some hate them but they do have good coverage for me, rarely have a problem. So next is to look for the phone I want for cheaper. Thinking about goin on eBay (don't anticipate having the same problem as Matt did).

Well that about covers it all. Till later.
