I have so much blogging to write and read, and I am so excited to get to a point in my life when I can do it. Unfortunately, I've just been nasty sick, and can't get to it right now. I feel nauseous every minute of every day when I'm not eating. Yep. While I'm eating, the pain is relieved. Within a few minutes of stopping, I feel like I'm going to die from the pain. So, while the usual benefit of being sick is that you lose a few pounds, I'm not really finding that to be true for me this time--more like the opposite, actually. Bummer! So, until I'm cured, don't expect to find me here, nor reading your beautiful blogs. *sigh* It's going to be wonderful to feel better someday. Meanwhile, if anyone has a great remedy for Peptic Ulcer Disease that they would like to share, do tell! While I've been to the ER, I have not been able to follow up with my doctor due to a lack of health insurance and cashola (still seeking a Civil Engineer job for Shane-- please check your local newspapers), so healing is very slow, if at all. I can't tell. The good news is that I'm a professional at fake-it-till-you-make-it, and should be able to function, at least occasionally, in public. :)
Well, that's it. I think ulcers eat the sense of humor. Hope to read you all soon!

I hope you feel better soon!!!
Oh Trish....this makes me so sad that your feeling yucky! Wish I could do something. Have you tried drinking mylanta for a little relief? I know you don't do milk, but I've heard it helps. Get better!! Praying for you!
Hope your feeling better soon! Are your kids out on Fall Break too? Hope they are helping out:)
Have a good day
You know it might not get better until the stress from no job is gone. I just find that mine come and go in severity depending on my stress. Ok I am just typing as thoughts come to mind, not that I have tried the following, maybe reflexology? French bread helps me too, but that would be eating again. I wish I could be more help for a solution. Come on people.....there has to be someone out there that knows of a job for Shane!
Alternative healing help:
in the louise L. Hay book, 'HEal Your Body' the affirmation you read several times a day for Peptic Ulcers is: I love and approve of myself. I am at peace with myself. I am wonderful.
For accupresure, take your thumb and place it in the center of your gut between your belly button and the end of your rib cage bone. Push inward and hold for 5 min. Then twist in a circular motion for 7 counts, then rotate the other direction.
(you will know if you are in the right place because it is tender- sometimes painful,) When my hubby was going through a flare up of this we had to do this several times a day, and then only when the pain came back. But the stress factor is huge and if you can find another way to deal with it these are temporary fixes. Sorry I don't know of a job. Let me know if this does/ does not help :)
Oh Trish, So sad to hear that you are feeling so horrible.
There is a lady that is amazing, she used to live in Queen Creek. She has made tons of cookbooks and natural remedies books.
She answers e-mail questions too. ;o)
I have sent e-mails to her often and it usually takes a day or so but she is very willing to help out.

I hope she has answers for you. And hope you feel better soon. I hope a job shows up for your husband.
Gosh I wondered where you were!! I don't have any suggestions for your issue but I hope you feel better.
DARN IT! that bites. um what about pepcid OTC. they gave me that when i had an ulcer in highschool before it was over the counter. stress stinks. have you gone to DES and signed up for AHHCCS? do it. it's the best ever while you are in need. especially if you need to go see a freaking DR. there is no shame in getting some assistance.
hugs! hope you feel better soon.
Trish,
It can't rain all the time. Hang in there.
Beth
