So, today was the follow up visit with the Dr. that did the Endoscopy. Prognosis: I have damaged the lining of my stomach by overusing ALEVE. I have to take a liquid medicine for the next 3 months.
I confess - I did abuse the ALEVE. Headache pop 3, Toothache pop 3, Backache pop 3 at least everyother day. I will throw the bottle away as soon as I get home. The Dr. suggests I try Tylenol if I experience aches and pains.
I've lost a whole 7 pounds since my last visit with the Gastroenterologist!
11 days until Surgery YAY!
Hope Everyone's Hump Day was Terrific!
A few years ago I had the same problem with Advil. I would pop them like M&M's. I had a headache for days when I quit taking them.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the 7 pound loss!!!

ReplyDeleteAleve is the best, but not if it causes damage! Congrats on the loss!
