Holidays with GERD

This is the worst time to be diagnosed with GERD. It is very frustrating. I try to watch what I eat, and am very wary of having just a sip of alcohol. People also don't seem to understand what I am going through. I keep pleading with them to be patient with me because I'm trying to understand it as well.

Most people also tell me that it is all in my head. That is something I cannot accept. I know my body well enough to tell if something is wrong with it. I don't just imagine the symptoms. Why would I? I did not want this illness... I am simply learning how to live with it, and I hope they can learn to do the same.

Gastroenterologist is also unavailable cos of the holidays. I hope I catch him tomorrow morning. I will listen only to what the doctors will tell me... instead of listening to everyone's guesses.

ciao,
gerd&me
