Yeah... I do have the genuine thing (acid reflux).. it really is a problem and makes me constantly uncomfortable. Unfortunately I am currently on state insurance which does not cover the (strength of) medication (of the many I have tried). I found Prilosec has helped.. but I am still constantly having troubles. I have had to ration what medication I have to when I need it because I just can't afford 200-300 a month for 40mg Prilosec. i'm gonna head down to Mexico around thanksgiving and see if I can't get a decent amount at a low price.. but I don't even know if I should do that because I will most likely not be able to afford the move to VA if I do that.... right now I am just concentrating ALL of my efforts to get across the country at the end of the year.

As for my sexual relationship, I do feel horrid all the time (because of the various medical problems) which just shuts me down and in the end not only upsets me, but I do know if bothers my boyfriend as well. Through my constant problems he has felt that I don't want to be close to him because I am pushing him away when I feel like I do. But I am considering the surgery because I know I will feel better afterwards and it will hopefully improve how I feel after I've consumed food.....
It's just all a vicious cycle that I am having trouble trying to control.

But I will take the advice given and see what I can do to just attempt to improve my general health. Thank you!
